A phrase is a group of words that can serve to describe or modify one or more words in a sentence, but it lacks a subject. It cannot stand on its own and would not make any sense unless included in a complete sentence. A clause, however, contains both a subject and a predicate (verb). An independent clause is a complete sentence that stands on its own, while a dependent clause is not a complete sentence but still contains a subject and predicate. Thus, the correct answer above is C, "A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not."
'I can't believe you didn't call me.' This is an example of a <u>declarative</u> sentence.
Explanation:
A declarative sentence can be defined as one that simply makes or expresses a direct statement, in the present tense. It is a simple statement that ends with a full stop, like the one given in the above example.
An interrogative sentence is a question and ends with a question mark (e.g. <em>Did you go to work today?</em>).
An imperative sentence is one that presents requests or commands someone to do something and ends with a period/full stop (e.g. <em>Open the door.</em>)
An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotions and ends with an exclamation point (e.g. <em>That thunderstorm was scary!</em>).
