Yes, a clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. It does need to make sense within the context of a sentence to convey a complete thought.
That is a dependent clause, which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it relies on an independent clause to make sense.
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause relies on the independent clause to make sense.
The sentence "I went to the store" is an example of a main clause ("I went to the store") that can stand alone. Adding a dependent clause, such as "after work," would give additional context and complete the meaning of the sentence: "I went to the store after work."
An independent clause is a grammatical structure that can stand alone as a complete sentence and express a complete thought. It contains a subject and a predicate and does not require additional information to make sense.
Take the sentence, "I'm going home because I am tired." There are two clauses: "I'm going home" is an independent clause, because it would make sense to say it without the other clause. "Because I am tired" is a subordinate (or dependent) clause. It wold not make sense to say it unless either you also said the independent clause, or somehow the connection was obvious, as if someone had just asked you why you are going home.
A clause that does not make sense without the presence of another clause is called a dependent clause.

Subordinate clauseA subordinate (or dependent) clause is a clause that needs another clause. Unlike independent clauses it cannot stand alone. The word because is usually a good indicator of a subordinate clause.

A phrase is a group of words that doesn't make sense eg - with the white spot.A clause is a group of words with a verb eg She began talking
No because the trick to get the answer to whether it is a main or subordination clause, you have to say it by itself to see if it makes sense when it is on its own. If it doesn't make sendlse then it is a subordination clause and if it does then it is a main clause.
Well u make no sense!!
there is no subordinate conjunction (because, after, therefore, even though, etc) so it is not a subordinate clause. if you look at it and it could be a complete sentence on it's own and make sense, it's not a subordinate clause.
