| 1. The generating points in this map suck. 2. The generating points in this map sucks. Is 'in this map' a clause? If not, what do you call that part? Thanks. |

| "The generating points on the map suck." This is a complete sentence on its own, where 'the generating points on the map' is the noun phrase subject of the verb 'suck'. A clause is an expression including a verb and a predicate that gives an "extra information" about the subject and doesn't make sense if it's used by itself (see in italics) ex: the generating points, which are on the map, suck. |
