Oh, man. I had to go back to the judges on this one.

They came back with a, sh!t I don't know.

It's a complete sentence. It makes a statement. Hell I think we found a wiener.

[Robert.Metzel 4]

haha... I was just guessing since "I" was posted and no one added a period to anything. You kept says so close so I assumed that's what was missing. lol

How is that a sentence? It has a subject but no verb. You can make an argument for "go" by saying that when giving a command the subject is an implied pronoun but how are you going to imply an action by just saying "I"? Putting a period at the end of it doesn't make it a sentence.

Here is what I was looking for:

So we're talking about the shortest complete sentence in English?

I proposed a sentence

- I? -

Yup. If you write it, it is just a letter (I) with a question mark. And if you say it, just an I with a rising tone. Usually this sentence is used by someone to confirm an order referring to him/her.

For example, there are only two people in the room. And in the middle of a conversation the other person shout aloud, Go! Another short sentence which in the context means as an order to leave the conversation. I bet with a pair of irritated eyes, confused facial expression, the other person in the room would point his or her own nose and ask I? A letter with this rising tone is a way to ask for confirmation, which means You mean it? Is it really me? I can't hardly believe it!

I?. That's the shortest I can get.

as seen here:

I?

If "I?" is the answer then technically all letters of the alphabet could be used.

If I asked which letter am I thinking about?

You could answer, "A?" "B?" etc.

No one ever said there was one right answer. Riddles, got to love'em.

[Godsmack 360]

I.

or is it

Yes.

[Julian 641]

English does not require a subject for the imperative case. If left out, the subject is generally understood to mean "you." Therefore, almost any one-word verb in the English language can become a grammatically correct one-word sentence when used as a direct command. (Examples: "Stop!" "Go!" "Speak." "Eat.")
