A clause is a sentence or part of sentence which has verb in it. For example- Ramesh is eating an apple is a clause.

Types of clauses are-

1. Main clause/Independent clause

2. Subordinate clause/Dependent clause

3. Conditional clause

4. Relative clause

Sentence- After finishing our work, we went to home. 

A main clause or independent clause is complete in itself such as- we went to home is  a complete sentence with meaning.

An independent clause or subordinate clause is incomplete and lacks meaning without a dependent clause such as - after finishing our work.
