Clause: A combination of words (Subject + Verb + Object/Complement)
(Noun clause = S + V + O/C)
That is a puzzle to me
(How he opened the safe = That) is a puzzle to me.
(Adjective clause = S + V + O/C)
The man was arrested.
The man (who organized the strike) was arrested.
Phrase: A combination of words (object/complement)
James likes (reading English books /noun phrase /O function).
My hobby is (reading book /noun phrase / C function)
(Listening to radio/ noun phrase / S function) is fun.
The food (at the wedding/ adj phrase) was delicious
I went to his house ( to have a cup of coffee / adv phrase )

A clause has both a subject and a verb. A phrase has only one of those.

A noun phrase has a noun and optionally an article/determiner, one or more adjectives, and one or more prepositional phrases, but no verb. Or it could just have a pronoun.

A noun clause has a subject and a verb and put together acts like a noun.

So basically, if the thing you have to identify has a verb in it but acts like a noun, it's a noun clause.
