Are keywords and statements the same? If not what is the difference?

A statement will often begin with a keyword, such as, for, while, break, import. A statement might also be a call to a built-in function, such as, print.
So, a keyword will be a part of or often begin a statement.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
