The BBC message board is very useful and get the answer very fast. When I posted the question, I got the answer next day, I was surprised at the efficiency.
This is my question:
I would like to know the differences between speech and sentence.
And this is the answer:
A sentence is a grammatical construction which contains at least a subject and a verb. It can contain other elements such as an object and sub-clauses.A speech is usually when someone is talking in public - thing of what politicians do.Grammatically, speech can also be a sentence which tells you what someone said. It can be direct, when you report the exact words, or indirect when you report what was said.They're not actually all that similar, and I'm sure that if you check a bi-lingual dictionary you'll quickly see the difference. If not, could you post something more specific about what's confusing you?
