The shortest sentence is one which only contains a verb, which does not take an object (something which is having something done to it). English however always requires a subject (a do-er of an action), which is two words. So only an imperative word that doesn't take an object would be the smallest sentence, an imperative being a command, such as "Be!", "Go!".

The shortest English sentence is 'it is'. It has a noun and a verb, which is what every sentence must have.
