A clause is basically any kind of phrase within (or as) a sentence. There are independent and dependent clauses. An independent clause is any phrase that can stand alone as its own sentence. For instance, in the sentence "Jane and I were walking when we saw the dog," the first portion "Jane and I were walking" would be an independent clause. A dependent clause, however, doesn't make sense when taken out of the sentence; it is therefore dependent on the sentence as a whole. For instance, "when we saw the dog" would be a dependent clause (here, a prepositional phrase to be more specific) because it does not have the necessary elements of a sentence that an independent clause has.

There are two different types of clauses: independent and dependent.
Independent clauses are those that can form a grammatical and complete sentence on their own.
Dependent clauses are unable to form complete sentences and need another clause to make it complete. (i.e. it is dependent on another clause)
