A clause is a part of a sentence which contains a subject and verb. It sounds like clauses are able to be sentences on their own, and some are, but others, called dependent clauses, are not. An example of a dependent clause would be "when I walked to the beach." It has a subject "I" and a verb "walked", but it cannot be a sentence on its own because of the word "when" at the beginning.
