There are two main candidates for the shortest sentence in the English language:
'Go!' and 'I am'.
My vote is for 'Go!' It has an active verb, an implied subject and a clear meaning. I am only has meaning when used as an answer to a question: Who is going to the Moon this morning? I am. In any case, two words beats three!Download English FAQ Teaching Pack for only £2.99
Isn t ----- "I exist." ----- the shortest valid sentence.
ReplyDeleteIt makes total sense, because "I" is the most concrete term in a dictionary & "existence" is the most abstract term in a dictionary...
Would ¨i¨ work It has a subject and verb?????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteNo, I is only a noun. It doesn't act as a verb.
