A sentence is a group of words having a subject and a verb and expressing a complete thought. A clause may or may not be able to stand on its own as a sentence.
Here's a clause: "While Maria was waiting for the bus." It's a dependent clause-- the subject is "Maria" and the verb is "was waiting." But it's not a complete thought-- what happened while she was waiting? Here's a complete sentence: "While Maria was waiting for the bus, her cousin drove by and offered her a ride."
A group of words that contain a subject and a verb is a sentence.

∙ 16y ago"She sounded" [needs predicate adjective to be a complete thought, e.g. "She sounded tired"].
Here is a more technical but interesting example:
"for her to go home"
This is an infinitive clause introduced by a conjunction "for." The subject of the infinitive is "her," and the infinitive "to go" is a verb, but it's an infinitive and thus this isn't a "complete sentence." Some English teachers will not understand that "her" is the subject of the infinitive because those English teachers are under-trained in syntax, so if a teacher objects to this example you can cite Government-Binding Theory and Generative Grammar as the linguistic basis for this point. :-)
