no, because without a verb it will make no sense
In some sentences, the verb is implied: Do you understand? --> Yes.
In the single-word reply "I understand" is implied because it is understood from context.
Understand is a verb. eg Do you understand?
Exclamations don't have verbs:
How quick!, what a shame, How wonderful!
Yes there is. An imperative sentence has an implied subject, for example:
'Help!', 'Look out!', or 'Stop!' These are all correct sentences, the implied subject is the name of the person spoken to or the pronoun 'you'.
As a general rule, sentences without verbs are incomplete sentences, i.e., sentence fragments. The exclamatorysentence form, however, does allow for sentences which can be regarded as grammatical even though lacking a verb--"How sweet!" or "What a mess!"
Only fairly detailed grammars are likely to recognize this form, however, and most English teachers are unfamiliar with it. Anyone curious about it should consult Greenbaum's
Oxford English Grammar.
Yes, because except in the case of certain interjections (e.g. Wow! Shh! You!), the verb is what the sentence consists of, even when the subject is only understood (e.g. youin the command "Run!").
So a sentence without a verb (predicate) is not a sentence.
Without a verb you do not have a complete sentence, but a sentence fragment. Sometimes the verb is implied, as in the previous sentence.
NO!!!
