If I remember correctly, a sentence should contain a noun or pronoun and a verb to qualify as a sentence. The shortest correct sentence I know of is "I am." Of course it can include much more than that.

There's a problem with the "a sentence is a complete thought" definition that we were all taught in grade school--what's a "complete thought"?
A better definition: a sentence is a statement capable of being either true or false.
Minor problem with this definition: it excludes questions and exclamations from the category of "sentence."

A sentence is a logical group of words that completes a thought.

a sentence is a group of words that has a subject, a verb, and contains a complete thought.
eg, i am a girl.
