Excerpt
A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. Sentences are made from the eight parts of speech. We can write a sentence using all eight parts of speech or using just two or three, but a sentence must have two things:
1. A subject: a noun that tells who or what the sentence is about.
2. A predicate: the verb or action word that tells what the subject does.
Remember this simple rule when building a sentence: Subject + Predicate = Sentence

Is this a sentence? Yes. It has a subject and a predicate. It makes complete sense.
