A clause is a group of words that contains subject and predicate
Example:

S V

S V
Two kinds of Clauses:
1. Independent Clause
An independent clause contains a subject and predicate and can be a sentence by
itself. Independent clauses are sometimes called main clauses.

although, as, because, everywhere, so that, or when. Like single adverbs,
adverb clause answer the questions when? Where? Why? How? They can
also express a condition, contrast, purpose, or result.
b. Adjective clause or called relative clause begins with relative pronoun (who,
whom, whose, which, that) or relative adverb (when, where).
Like adjective, adjective clause modify (give information about) noun and
pronoun.
c. Noun Clause is a dependent clause that acts like a noun. Thus, it can be a
subject, complement or object.
