What is a Clause?

A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that are normally used to add more detail to the noun in a sentence.

A subject is a noun or a pronoun in the sentence, while the verb is the action. A clause conveys information about what that subject is or is doing.

Examples

The shiny, blue car raced around the track.

As a Clause expresses an action or a state of being, a clause can often, but not always, function as an independent sentence.
