A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate AND is used as part of a sentence. Clauses can be independent or dependent. An independent clause expresses a complete thought, e.g. 'He tore the page in half'. Thus, an independent clause could stand alone exactly like a sentence. On the other hand, 'whenever he heard it' is a dependent clause: it can't stand alone because it doesn't represent a complete thought.
