  • A clause  can be regarded as a group of words which has a subject i.e noun or pronoun and a verb.

  • First sentence contains a verb ( called)  and a subject ( a friend) so it is considered a clause.

  • Second and third sentence does posses any verb, so it cannot be considered as a clause.

  • Forth sentence contain a verb ( shouted) and a subject ( a boy).
