Example:

Run.

Is that a sentence? or a Fragment?

Yes, in the example stated, the subject of the sentence is implied to be "you". Therefore, the meaning of the sentence is "You run", making it a complete sentence with a subject and verb.

Another example, and the shortest complete sentence in the English language is, "Go". Again, the subject is implied.

Imperaitive sentences like the one you mentioned have an implied subject in front of them, so yes, it's ok.

Absolutely! The smallest sentence in the English language is actually "Go." The subject, "you," is implied.

This is a sentence. This can be an exclamatory sentence.

Run!
So technically "Run", would be a imperative sentence with a period.

Run.

Technically it is a fragment. It needs a noun and verb. However i think it is an acceptable exclamation. RUN!!!

Yes, it is called an imperative sentence.

Why?

It is a question and a sentence.

A fragment
when you put in in that form of just one word then it has to have a pronoun in front of it.
