    This document defines phrases, clauses, and sentences. Phrases are groups of words that do not contain a subject and verb and cannot stand alone. Clauses contain both a subject and verb and can sometimes stand alone as a sentence. There are two types of clauses: independent clauses that form a complete thought on their own, and dependent clauses that need to be attached to an independent clause to form a complete thought. A sentence is a set of words containing both a subject and predicate that expresses a complete thought and begins with a capital letter, formed by joining an independent clause with a dependent clause.

    preposition or noun.
