Entertainment / Literature / Clause: In grammatical terminology, a clause is any word-construction containing a nominative and a predicate, i.e., a subject 'doing' a verb. The term clause contrasts with the term phrase. A phrase might contain nouns as appositives or objects, and it might contain verb-like words in the form of participles or gerunds, but it crucially lacks a subject 'doing' a verb. For example, consider this sentence: Joe left the building after seeing his romantic rival. Clause: Joe left the building. Phrase: after seeing his romantic rival. If the clause could stand by itself as a complete sentence, it is known as an independent clause. If the clause cannot stand by itself as a complete sentence (typically because it begins with a subordinating conjunction), it is said to be a dependent clause.
