A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. Question: What is the difference between phrases and clauses? The difference between phrases and clauses can be confusing. A phrase is a group of words that has either no subject or no predicate. opening the gate (no subject)the man at the counter (no predicate) across the river (a modifier: neither a subject nor a predicate) A clause is a group of words containing both a subject and a predicate.Dependent Clauses cannot stand alone as sentences. * although the man held his daughter * because Jerry was laughing at the joke Independent Clauses can stand alone as a sentence. * Alfred did not want to marry * My sister, Mariana, was talking about our mother "I am eating in the kitchen" is a clause.

" In the kitchen" by itself is a prepositional phrase (a phrase formed from a preposition, in this case, "in."

No verb 'is'!!!!
