Both clauses and phrases are group of
words.But a clause contains both a subject
and a predicate.
What is predicate?
The predicate of a sentence is the part that
modifies the subject in some way. Because
the subject is the person, place, or thing that
a sentence is about, the predicate must
contain a verb explaining what the subject
does and can also include a modifier.

Examples :
1: I swim
2:We are happy
3:We are going to store
These are all independent clauses because they stand on their own as
a sentences
