This collection of sentences contains four that are arguably on topic.

When you are not looking at it, this sentence is in Ancient Greek.

This sentence you are reading was in Hungarian for several months last
year, and has only recently been translated back into English.

If this sentence were in Chinese, it would say something else.

.siht ekil ti gnidaer eb d'uoy ,werbeH ni erew ecnetnes siht fI

If I had finished this sentence,

This sentence was in the past tense.

, because I couldn't think of a beginning for it.

This sentence contains one numeral 2 many.

This is not a complete. Sentence. This either.

This sentence contains only one nonstandard English flutzpah.

This sentence contains cabbage six words.

This is to be or actually not two sentences to be, that is the question,
combined.

This sentence, though not a question, ends in a question mark?

When one this sentence into the German to translate wanted, would one
the fact exploit, that the word order and the punctuation already with
the German conventions agree.

(1) This sentence every third, but it still understandable.

(2) This would easier understand fewer had omitted.

(3) This impossible except context.

(4) 4'33" attempt idea.

(5)

In another world, could I have been a sentence about Anton Stadler?

If you think this sentence is confusing, just change one pig.

You have, of course, just begun reading the sentence that you have just
finished reading.
