∙ 11y agoWhen it's either a run-on (several sentences strung together without proper punctuation) or a fragment (an incomplete thought written as a separate sentence).
Most sentences need a noun or pronoun as the subject, and all need a predicate (verb) and closing punctuation as well as a complete thought. Without these, it is not a complete sentence. It may be an utterance or interjection which is not an actual sentence form.

∙ 11y agoNot is not a verb simply because it does not do one of the following:
Perform an action, or
Denote a state of being.
For example:
"I eat fish."
Eat is a verb in this situation, since it denotes the action of eating.
"I am a fish."
Am is a verb since it is a state of being, saying exactly what the subject is.
You cannot, however, say "I not fish" or "I not a fish." You can only say "I do not eat fish." In this, "do eat" is the verb, while not describes it, making it an adverb.
