Without a verb (predicate), a sentence is not a sentence. They are the indicators of identity or action.

The only time a predicate is not used is for certain interjections, which are not sentences.

These include such comments as:

Ouch! -- Shh! -- Huh? -- Wow! -- You! (actually may be the sentence "It is you!")

A command is a sentence that often uses an understood subject (you), so the only part of the sentence is the verb. For example : Run! Get out of here.
