A clause contains both a subject and a predicate with a verb, and can act as a sentence on its own. A phrase does not contain a subject and verb and cannot be a complete sentence. The document provides examples of clauses like "school closed" and "they studied for the test" that have subjects and verbs, as well as phrases like "after seeing the Minar-e-Pakistan" that do not form complete sentences.
