Clauses consist of different types of phrases: noun, verb, adjctive, adverbial, and prepositional (definitions of all these are in the next section if you want to skip ahead for a quick reference).
Noun phrase is a sentence built around a noun:
'A CHAIR sat in the room's centre.'
Verb phrase is built around a verb:
'You will be GOING to the library.'
Adjective phrase is built around the adjective:
'She's a SLY woman.'
Adverbial phrase is built around the adveb:
'He struggled to drive CONSERVATIVELY.'
Prepositional phrase is built around the preposition:
'I want to go UNDER the tunnel.'
Easy squeezy, nothing to it.
