What Makes a Sentence?

  1. Una frase nominal nombra: “The morning crew” no dice qué pasa. Una frase en -ing puede nombrar una acción: “Working before sunrise” no tiene sujeto visible ni verbo completo.
  2. A noun phrase names; an -ing phrase may name an action; a sentence makes a complete claim.
