Stupid question:
Can someone please explain the difference between "clause" and a "phrase"?
I read somewhere that "as" should only be used for "clauses" and not "phrases" and hence wanted to clarify?
Thanks

This is not always true because "As" can function as Conjuction, Adverb.
When it working as Conjuction (subordinating) it should connect one Independent clause with Dependent clause.
They were walking home as they were discussing the problem.
Adverb
He is dressed up as a ghost.
hope this helps.

Clause is a grammatical term that refers to a group of words that has a subject and an object and is part of a complex or compound sentence.
The following complex sentence has two clauses.
The cat sat on the mat licking its paws.
The cat sat on the mat is one clause. Cat is the subject and mat is the object.
The second clause is licking its paws. Its is the subject and paws is the object.
A phrase is a sequence of two or more words that act as a unit in a sentence. They don’t have to have a subject and an object and they don’t form a sentence by themselves.
For instance set up shop is a phrase. It’s part of the sentence:
They set up shop.
Phrase and clause are simply technical terms for parts of sentences. You can’t speak or write a sentence without using them.
