Question

what is difference between sentence and statement

Answer 1

sentence is a group of words consisting of a subject and predicate.(noun and verb)

A statement can be a sentence if asserting something either verbally or written.

Answer 2

Let's first understand what one means by "sentence" and "statement".

The Oxford dictionary describes "SENTENCE" as
A set of words that is complete in itself.

As I see it, a SENTENCE is a set of words arranged in an order that it makes sense.

The Oxford dictionary describes "STATEMENT" as
A clear and definite expression of something in speech or writing.

As I see it, a STATEMENT is more like a fact. Its something that has to be true.

For example,
- Strawberries are blue.
This is a sentence as it puts the words in an order that makes sense. It has a subject and verb and an adjective. It may/may not be true.

But

-Strawberries are red.
This is a statement as we all know it conveys a fact that cannot be changed.
