Is this a sign that you're a little confused or just plain asinine?

What does it take to make a sentence? A sentence has (at least) three things:
1. a subject: what we are talking about, usually a noun or pronoun
2. a verb: tells that the subject does something or is something, and
3. a characteristic: can stand alone, can be independent.
This is a sentence: He called.
He is the subject. Called is the verb.
The following are not sentences, even though each has a subject and verb:
Because he called
When he called
He calling
The items above lack the characteristic can stand alone.
Of course, most sentences we speak or write have more than just a subject and verb, but to be complete, a sentence must have at least a subject and a verb and be able to stand alone.

A sentence is a method of communicating an idea or series of ideas. A sentence is made up of a noun and a verb, as you know. Here is a sentence: Rags Ignite; or; Trucks Snore. Noun and verb/ subject and predicate, and pretty it up as you need.
But that is the basic, and it grows from there.
Peace!
