English - Sentence or Phrase

A sentence is a word or a group of words that tells a complete idea. The first letter of the first word is always capitalized. A sentence must always end with an end mark.

Is this a sentence?
the yellow school bus

No, it is not a sentence. It only names something. It does not tell you anything about the yellow school bus. It is a phrase.

Is this a sentence?
parked in front of the school

No, it is not a sentence. This shows an action. It does not tell you who did the action. It is a phrase.

If we put the two phrases together, we have: The yellow school bus parked in front of the school.

Now, that is a sentence.

Meryl:    Ano raw ang sabi ng tagapagbalita? Albert:   Ayon daw sa PAGASA , Signal Number 2 na ang bagyo  dito sa  Metro Manila. Wala tayong pasok. Meryl:   Pero  ayon kay Nanay , meron daw tayong pasok. Inihahanda na nga  niya ang baon para sa atin . Albert:   Baka hindi niya narinig ang balita sa radyo.
