Statements
The statements they constitute minimum units of meaningful expression and are generally made up of several words and eventually a sentence, although even a single word can constitute a statement. It is through statements that ideas are expressed or speech acts are consummated. For example: I ask you for the bill, please.
The statement is, then, the minimum unit of communication. These units are shaping the texts, which are larger communication units.

Statement and sentence
As can be seen, the limits of the statement, in general, coincide with the limits of sentences. However, statement and sentence are not equivalent terms. While a sentence is a theoretical grammatical construct, it might not make any sense. For example: Pockets spoke of raw fear, a statement is the concrete realization of a sentence that makes sense, emitted by a specific speaker in certain circumstances, that is, under a certain context.
This can be visualized very well if you think about expressions
ironic: the context is what defines whether something is said with a plain or ironic intention, even when the sentence that is pronounced is exactly the same: if we tell someone who enters the bank at 14.50 h "You always wanting to be the first”It is clear that we are making an ironic statement, but if it is 9.45 am that statement will be perceived as plain. It should be noted that sentences can only be evaluated in formal terms, while sentences can be judged as true or false.The utterance can be classified according to what kind of words constitutes its core. Thus we will speak of sentence statement when this nucleus is a noun, an adjective or an adverb, in which case we will call these nominal, adjectival and adverbial sentences, respectively. When the nucleus is a conjugated verb, we will talk about sentence sentences.
