What is a sentence?
The combination of many words that give a complete sense is called a sentence.
The sentence gives us a complete sense, and starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, question mark, or a sign of exclamation.
The combinations of words that fail to give a complete sense is not a sentence.
For example:
Ali is an honest man.
This sentence gives us a complete sense.
