Phrase: a group of words that act like a single thing, and doesn't have a subject or verb. There are many different kinds of phrases, (appositive phrases, gerund phrases, participial phrases, infinitive phrases) but you only know of one: a prepositional phrase.
Clause: A group of words that have both a subject and a verb.
Independent Clause: a clause that is a complete thought on its own; it doesn't need another clause to make sense.
Dependent Clause: A clause that is NOT a complete thought on its own - it needs another clause to make sense! (It's usually one word that makes the clause dependent - like "because" or "since")
PLEASE NOTE: , +FANBOYS are never included in clauses. They are the only words that aren't. They act as joiners of two independent clauses.
PLEASE NOTE: You can have phrases inside of clauses!
