4 Go is the shortest complete sentence in the English language

How is that a complete sentence though? - Randomator

Go is a sentence? Lol.

It is the shortest sentence because go is an imperative sentence, meaning it is telling someone to do something. 'You go' is the full sentence, but you do not need 'you', which is the subject, to be added in front of go.

This is an interesting concept, but it might be wrong. A complete sentence has to involve a subject (he's) and a predicate (cool, over there,etc.). A word like "go" or "no" is not a complete sentence since it only implies a subject. Therefore, the shortest complete sentence would have to be "I am." "I" is the subject; "am" is the predicate.
