I am.

ozo:
I need you to do this now.

Me:
I am.

That website fails to take into account that I am can be used in a response they use the analogy, So “Go” actually means “You go.” and discount I am as needing a qualifier such as happy to be a full predicate. I go is poor english, I think, I wasnt an english major by any stretch.

and either way SheharyaarSaahil would have gotten the points for that too

contractions dont count
But the most used shortest complete sentence would be:

"I do."

d:D
I do is the longest sentence (a life sentence). -- Sorry, old joke.
WAIT A SECOND HERE ----->        "Go."  is a complete sentence, the subject 'You' is understood and
included to form the sentence (You) Go. It has a subject and a verb - COMPLETE sentence, again, the
subject in the sentence is understood

so BAM - you're wrong!!
The blank space is a complete sentence too since it is used when people open their mouths and say nothing.
Which I should have done a LOT more than I have...

It is still funny :)
