A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate, forming a part of a sentence. It can be independent, able to stand alone as a complete thought, or dependent, which cannot stand alone and relies on an independent clause for meaning. Clauses are essential for constructing sentences and conveying complex ideas. In legal contexts, a clause can also refer to a specific provision or condition within a contract or agreement.
