Did you know that:
“Go!” is the shortest complete sentence in the English language?
A sentence needs to have a subject and verb to be considered complete. However, commands (also called imperatives) have an understood, implicit subject – ‘you’. Everyone understands that when someone looks at you and says ‘Go!’, they don’t mean ‘WE go!’ or ‘I go!’, but ‘YOU go!’
So the shortest sentence in English is only two letters long!
