Is this a sentence?

I know a sentence includes at least one subject and one verb.

When I say: "Thanks suzan" is it a sentence?

Are there any exceptions, or other forms of sentences, or different forms of subjects and verbs?

Thanks!

Picnic When I say: "Thanks suzan" is it a sentence? I wouldn't call it a sentence. It's an expression, I'd say.

Unless you would say it's derived from something like 'Thank you Suzan', which in turn may have been derived form
'I thank you Suzan' or 'I thank Suzan'. In that case, it does indeed have a subject.

PicnicBut is it formal?
No. Not for me. I would not say that "Thanks, Susan" is formal.

Suppose that Susan's last name is Fields. Now this is formal: "Thank you, Miss Fields".

Very formally, "I greatly appreciate your thoughtful kindness, Miss Fields".
