Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.
There are some metals which do not react with water. Metals like Silver,Gold,Platinum,copper,Mercury and non metals like Hydrogen do not react with water.
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
As far as I know, non-metals like Carbon(C) and Sulphur(S) do not react with water. They are tightly binded, so they are insoluble too. Chilax

metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.

Nonmetals gain electrons.
they form a salt
alkali metals react violently in cold water
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
