Yes, copying just a sentence or two is plagiarism. According to the Office of Research Integrity, one must always acknowledge the contributions of others, enclose verbatim (word for word) text within quotation marks, and acknowledge every source we use--paraphrased, summarized, or quoted ("Avoiding Plagiarism"). The best rule is, "if you didn't write it, better cite it." Works Cited "Avoiding plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and other questionable writing practices: A guide to ethical writing."
