I.
(when answering "Who's at the door?"--shortest pronoun answer)
Z.
(when answering "What is the name of an ancient Amozonian city?"--shortest proper noun answer)

Shortest Sentence

The shortest possible sentence, generally, would consist of a single word, specifically a verb, issued as a command where the subject "you" is understood. The shortest verb would be "go". So the shortest sentence would be: Go.

What? & Go.
"Generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, or by a comma when the feelings not as strong.
So when you're happy (HURRAY!) or sad (Darn!) or excited (WOW!) or mad (Drat!) or frightened (EEK!) or glad (HEY!) an interjection starts a sentence right. "
(I have no idea what that has to do with anything, but I just love school house rock and this came to mind when I was typing.)

One of the shortest sentences in the English language without the subject implied or a matter of dialogue is, "I am."
"Go." is an imperative sentence with the subject "you" implied--as in, "You, go."

"I do." It has both subject and verb.
It can also lead to the longest sentence on Earth, but that's another story.

'I' alone is not a sentence as there is no verb. 'I am' would be acceptable. You could use a sentence with an 'implied' verb like 'I too'.
