Difference between sentence and statement.

A sentence is a statement if it have a truth value otherwise this sentence is not a statement.By truth value i mean if i write a sentence "Lahore is capital of Punjab" Its truth value is "true".Because yes Lahore is a capital of Punjab. So the above sentence is a statement. Now if i write a sentence "How are you" Then you cannot answer in yes or no.So this sentence is not a statement. Every statement is a sentence but converse is not true.
