Phrases and Clauses - What's the Difference?

In English, clauses and phrases are used regularly, and this lesson will help you quickly master them to better understand the language. You can see my lessons on individual phrases and phrasal verbs at www.engVid.com/

Very good way of teaching ! He knows how "to drop light beam" on difficult phrases or tenses to get them more understandable and more easy to make out .

[@bakiyaganesan8402]

Really helpful and I like the humor element in your teaching. I'm language teacher for myself and I like your brief technique of teaching.

Okay, I want to ask about something.
If there is a sentence fragment like :
With subject and verb what would it be ?

[@ruthiepope7643]

I had a tendency to daydream in grammar class, so I really needed a refresher. Do you ever talk about slashes (-), and when it's okay to use them?

[@maissa5334]

[@ShuyanStoryTeller]

It's really amazing for me to see a very tinly comma drawn by you because I have never seen a such "," in my life.

A: When I got home ----> it stand alone :)

the dependent clause can also be called a subordinate clause

[@aquelarenata]

Verb + noun is the same as Verb + subject? 5:32

[@sharifsircar]

this guy is awesome

[@yasmeenbano9479]

Please tell me what are phrases

[@gdawson4226]

A Clause is Batman, but a phrase is Robin. Robin needs Batman, but Batman can go solo, if he is independent ;)

[@janas03]

Need to clear a doubt. If an independent clause makes a complete sentence in itself, why do we call it a clause? Or is it that it would always be part of a sentence with a dependent clause?

[@rangegirl2000]

It's just another way to say sentence. It doesn't need a dependent clause to be an independent clause:)

[@catherinepangan1560]

i love this !

[@walidaldugri4716]

wow awesome lesson

[@theunsbotha5188]

[@artgallery7376]

"The way we speak round here " lol

[@javierbelmontes7337]

You teach better than my teachers

[@karimhamidouch8139]

It's because we don't have an entire class which speaks so loud that the teacher is forced to interrupt his course every 10min x)

[@filipedecastro4718]

what about the "since"?

[@aboraheal]

thanks for posting vids

[@Ntwadumela266]

im doing a degree In literature and I don't know what a clause is Im doomed. thank you

[@bd3825]

How do you get to college level not knowing what a clause is? I learned about it in the 10th grade.

[@deeznutz-ew8ku]

@@bd3825 Because not every country has the same school teaching system. Some prepare you better than others.

[@ralphlouis2705]

My summary ; phrases are batman with pick up , run off, while a clause is Superman showing time, reasons etc.. in a sentence showing dependent and independent clauses

If superman is the clause does that make him "Clause Kent" when he is trying to blend in? hahahaha

Wouldn't "as" be one word for time clauses too? E.g. She thanked him as she was eating.
