To be a sentence, rather than a phrase, a group of words must be structured. There must be a subject, an object and a verb. In other words something or somebody is doing something to something or somebody else. The subject and object will be nouns and words describing them will be pronouns and the action will be a verb with words describing it as adverbs. If the sentence contains two actions it may be joint be a conjunction, a word such as 'and' that joins them together. An example would be'
The small (adjective) man (object/noun) dropped (verb) the hot (adjective) potato (subject / noun) quickly (adverb) and (conjunction) rubbed (verb) his burning (adjective) hand (object /noun) vigorously (adverb).
The sentence would look like this :-
'The small man dropped the hot potato quickly and rubbed his burning hand vigorously.'
