Best Answer

A sentence always provides a complete thought. It has a subject (noun, pronoun) and a predicate (verb, or identity verb), and has end punctuation (period, question mark, or exclamation point).

Examples:

Sentence: John ran around the tree.

Non-sentence: Around the tree very fast.

Sentence: Run! (the understood subject is "you" and it means "you must run")

Non-sentence: Running as fast as he could go. (who?)

Non-sentence: The fastest runner ever to attend the school. (did what?)
