A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. A phrase is a group of words that does not.
"I am eating in the kitchen" is a clause.
"In the kitchen" by itself is a prepositional phrase (a phrase formed from a preposition, in this case, "in."
Does that help?

In order for us to help you, you need to give us some examples so that we know you have put some effort into your own questions.

The volunteers spend their valuable time answering the learners questions. The learners should at least provide us with some examples of their questions.
