Clauses are fragments of a sentence, and a sentence is more than just a clause. When a clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, it is referred to as an independent clause. A simple sentence can be a clause, but most sentences are a combination of various parts, including phrases, clauses, conjunctions, etc.
