In English grammar, clauses are groups of words with a subject and a predicate. There are two main types of clauses: independent and dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, while a dependent clause cannot. Dependent clauses can be further categorized into noun, adjective, and adverb clauses.
Let's identify the clauses in the given sentences and specify their types:

"You may go wherever you like."

Clause: "wherever you like"

"I met a girl whose eyes were blue."

"We expect that we will win a prize."
