Explanation:
Phrase
A phrase is a group of two or more words that work together but don't form a clause. ... For example, “buttery popcorn” is a phrase, but “I eat buttery popcorn” is a clause. Because it isn't a clause, a phrase is never a full sentence on its own.
Clause
A clause is a group of words that contain a subject (the noun or pronoun about which something is being said, usually the doer of the action) and a verb (a doing word). An example of a clause is: The fast, red squirrel darted up a tree. The subject of this clause is the fast, red squirrel and the verb is 'darted.
Sentence
A sentence is the basic unit of language which expresses a complete thought. It does this by following the grammatical basic rules of syntax. For example:"Ali is walking". A complete sentence has at least a subject and a main verb to state (declare) a complete thought. Short example: She walks.
