Step 1: Understand the complete meaning; clarify unknown words first.
Step 2: Determine whether the expression only identifies something or makes a full claim about it.
Step 3: If there is a claim, state what is said about which subject.
Step 4: Consider the truth of the claim separately; asserting it does not prove it.
Try this: “the mosque minaret” is a concept, while “the mosque minaret is tall” is a complete proposition.
