  • "the lights blinked": "the lights" (subject) + "blinked" (verb). -> Clause
  • "in the room": Lacks a subject and a verb (prepositional phrase). -> Phrase
  • "anybody should know": "anybody" (subject) + "should know" (verb). -> Clause
  • "blowing a bubble": Lacks a subject (participial phrase). -> Phrase
  • "dogs barked": "dogs" (subject) + "barked" (verb). -> Clause
