A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb (and usually other components too)

Types of clauses

Independent

Dependent

An independent clause (or main clause) makes sense by itself. It expresses a complete thought.

example

John ate the cake before his brother returned form work

We are safe from the wolves wile the fire is alight

Noun clauses

Adjetive clauses

Adverd clauses

Dependent Clauses contain a subject and a predicate, but they do not express a complete thought.

example

Choose a gift for whomever you want.

I do not like people who are mean to animals.
