-'Clause' can be defined as a group of words containing at least one subject and one verb. One clause can simply be a sentence or one or more clauses are combined to form a sentence. For example, ''I went to school.'' is a clause: ''I'' is a subject and ''went'' is a verb. The clause is a sentence as well. In a sentence such as ''I know that he went to school.'' there are two clauses: one is ''I know that he went to school'' and the other is ''that he went to school''. The former and the latter have ''I''/''know'' and ''he''/''went'' as their subject/verb, respectively. The former clause (i.e.,''I know that he went to school'') is called a main clause; on the contrary, the latter (i.e., ''that he went to school'') is called an [[Embedded Clause (definition)|embedded clause]].
