Sentence and NonSentence
This document discusses the difference between sentences and non-sentences. It notes that a sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought or idea by being able to answer who, what, where, when, or why questions. A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with punctuation. In contrast, a non-sentence or phrase is a group of words that does not tell a complete thought because it is missing important details like subjects or verbs and does not include ending punctuation.
