A sentence requires only two things. Those two things are a subject and a verb. If you can't find a subject (and it's not an understood "you"), it's not a sentence. If you can't find a verb, it's not a sentence.

in that case, "is" is the verb.

in every romance language, is is a conjugation of the verb infinitive "to be".
