A one-word sentence in the beginning of an essay isn’t cliche. I think you’d be in a different ballpark if we were talking about a one-word sentence beginning a piece of creative writing. But as far as using the one-word sentence at all, I think it depends on your audience.
If you’re writing this essay for an English class, my suggestion is… don’t do this. Your audience is an English teacher (and some related major TAs, probably). A one word sentence in a college essay for a teacher you don’t know (or TA’s who you don’t know) would seem sloppy, especially if it’s the first thing they read after the title. It’s worse if your title is the same thing as the sentence, as in:
Google-esque
Google-esque. Google-esque is…
If you know your teacher and your teacher’s flexible about this stuff, I’d still advise against it. Your first and second lines can be consolidated into one sentence, unless you’re trying to make some sort of point with the first line. If you are, I would isolate what that point is and then try to flesh it out more. For example, if by just stating «google-esque» you want the reader to think «what a weird word, what does it mean?» I’d ay it’s better to say exactly that. Unless your title already explains it. Example:
Google-esque: The Art of Mimicking Google
What is Google-esque? Google-esque is the art of mimicking Google.**
In that case, you would want to clarify the second sentence more.
But say you were writing this essay for a different kind of class, maybe you could get away with something like this. I just don’t know what class it would be. I don’t think this works in a technical paper or anything like that. Your audience is still a «professional» (or again, TAs) and this sentence structure isn’t… abnormal, but it’s not all that normal either. And if it’s a weak structure, it makes the overall reading a little weaker.
If you really want to use the one-word sentence, I’d suggest not saying Google-esque in the beginning of both of the sentences. The repetition is sort of off-putting. «Google-esque. Google-esque is…» has the same word, rapid fire twice in a row. If your title is also «Google-esque» that’s three times. It sounds… monotonous. If you change the second sentence’s structure, maybe you could get away with your first line being a one-word sentence.
English is a beautiful language, and one of its many perks is the one-word sentences. One-word sentences — as the name suggests is a sentence with a single word, and which makes total sense.
One word sentences can be used in different forms. It could be in form of a question such as “Why?” It could be in form of a command such as “Stop!” Furthermore, it could be used as a declarative such as “Me.” Also, a one-word sentence could be used to show location, for example, “here.” It could also be used as nominatives e.g. “David.”
Actually, most of the words in English can be turned into one-word sentences. All that matters is the context in which they are used. In a sentence, there is usually a noun, and a verb. In a one-word sentence, the subject and the action of the sentence is implied in the single word, and this is why to understand one-word sentences, one has to understand the context in which the word is being used.
Saying only a little at all times is a skill most people want to learn; knowing when to use one-word sentences can help tremendously. However, you cannot use one-word sentences all the time so as robotic or come off as rude.
Here are common one-word sentences, and their meanings:
- Help: This signifies a call for help.
- Hurry: Used to ask someone to do something faster
- Begin: Used to signify the beginning of a planned event.
Basically, the 5 Wh-question words — where, when, why, who and what? can also stand as one-word sentences.

Introduction An adverb is a word that modifies a sentence, verb, or adjective. An adverb can be a word or simply an expression that can even change prepositions, and clauses. An adverb usually ends only- but some are the same as their adjectives counterparts. Adverbs express the time, place, frequency, and level of certainty. The…

In the English language, sentence construction is quite imperative to understanding. A sentence can be a sequence, set or conglomerate of words that is complete in itself as it typically contains a subject, verb, object and predicate. However, this sentence regardless of its intent, would be chaotic if not constructed properly. Proper sentence construction helps…
It might sound a little outlandish, but you can form sentences with only one word. That’s right; you can write one word and then place a period (or exclamation mark) to close it. This article will explore some examples to help you understand them.
Can One Word Be A Sentence?
Of course, it’s possible to come across one word as a sentence. Here are some of the types that we will mention in this article:
- Interrogatives
- Imperatives
- Declaratives
- Locatives
- Nominatives
- Adjectives
- Adverbs
- Accusatives
- Exclamations
A one-word sentence is known simply as a sentence word. The above types are all the broader words we can use to describe specific types of sentence words. Each one offers a different way for us to use a one-word sentence when they apply.
Interrogatives
Interrogatives are the most common form of sentence words. We use them mainly as questions because they cover the most common words in English like “who,” “what,” and “where.” These words are all simple one-word sentences in the form of direct questions.
Here are some of the best interrogatives you can use:
- Who?
- What?
- Where?
- How?
- When?
- Why?
As you can see, each one is followed by a question mark. This shows that all interrogatives work best when we are directing them as a question toward someone.
It’s also common for the answer to be a sentence word, but it depends on the context. Most of the answers you can give to interrogative sentence words will apply to one of the other sections coming up in the article.
Imperatives
Imperatives are commanding words. We can use verbs to command someone to do something in the imperative case. It’s common for imperative sentences to have only one word because it shows the emphasis and need of someone to follow whatever command you are giving.
Since all imperatives are commands in the form of verbs, these examples should help you to understand them:
- Stop.
- Don’t.
- Leave.
- Go.
- Run.
- Walk.
- Work.
- Return.
Each of these verb forms allows us to give someone a command. The period after each one really emphasizes the need for someone to listen to what we have to say.
It can be easy for some people to ignore commands, which is why the imperative form exists. We can use these sentence words with a stern tone to show that we are only interested in someone listening to us (it’s usually for their own good).
Declaratives
Declaratives allow us to declare ourselves or someone else as an answer. We can use declaratives like “me” when we want to show that we are happy to declare ourselves or our actions in some way. Again, this mostly works when we are replying to specific questions.
There aren’t many good declaratives, but they’re still used. Here are some examples:
- Me.
- Aye.
It’s difficult to come up with many more legitimate declaratives. Some people might argue that “she” or “he” would work, but it’s not common for English speakers to use either of those pronouns as a sentence word.
That’s why “me” is the most appropriate declarative because it’s reasonable to expect someone to declare themselves as a candidate for something.
“Aye” also works because it’s a proclamation that we agree with something.
Locatives
Locatives are a more specific branch of sentence words we can use. They are word forms that always refer to locations. For example, we might say something like “here” or “there” when we are trying to show where something is happening. That’s how locatives work.
Locatives relate to locations, which these examples will make clear:
- Here.
- There.
- Everywhere.
- Nowhere.
- Home.
- Near.
- Far.
- Wherever.
- Somewhere.
As long as a position or place is mentioned in the sentence word, locatives work well. They work when replying to certain questions, so you might benefit from checking out the following examples:
- Where do you live?
- Here.
- Where were they last?
- There.
As you can see, we use them to reply to questions about someone or something’s location.
Nominatives
Nominatives are ways for us to nominate someone else. We can offer names, people, and things in the nominative case. It’s most common to see someone’s name as the nominative form when we are presenting a sentence word answer to a question.
Nominatives can cover anyone’s name, so we’ll include some examples to help you:
- Jane.
- John.
- Sarah.
- Stuart.
- Smith.
- Daniel.
- Craig.
- Lewis.
- Martin.
There are plenty of questions that could lead us to use a nominative form. For example, if someone asked us who completed a specific job, we could provide the name if we know the person that did it.
Technically, we can also provide names of items or objects rather than just people. It mostly refers to things that you can nominate or pick out as a culprit for something, which is why it works well in many different cases.
Adjectives
Adjectives are a common form in the English language. We use them as descriptive words, but it’s also common to see them as sentence words. However, it mostly only applies to informal situations when you want to use adjectives in this manner.
Here are a couple of examples to help you out:
- Pretty.
- Cute.
- Nice.
- Kind.
- Happy.
- Friendly.
- Incredible.
- Amazing.
- Brilliant.
- Gorgeous.
- Ugly.
- Grim.
While it’s easy to easy adjectives in the sentence word form, you might not be entirely sure how to use them correctly. Remember, it’s mostly an informal construct because you would be expected to use more words formally.
You might find it useful to also see a question and answer formation to see how this works:
- What do you think of this artwork?
- Gorgeous.
- How do you find her?
- Pretty.
As you can see, each of the adjective answers allows us to modify a specific noun listed in the question. For example, the first question asked about “artwork,” which we can modify with the responsive adjective “gorgeous.”
The second example used the noun “her,” and the descriptive word was “pretty.”
Adverbs
Adverbs are similar to adjectives. However, they usually include an “-ly” ending after the adjective and modify verbs. We can use adverbs to modify the verb that might have been presented in the previous question. If the question has no verb, an adverb cannot work.
These examples will help you make more sense of what adverbs can do:
- Calmly.
- Softly.
- Easily.
- Quickly.
- Gently.
- Nicely.
- Happily.
- Confidently.
- Rapidly.
- Cautiously.
- Barely.
You might also benefit from the following question and answer examples to help you figure it out:
- Would you take a look at this for me?
- Happily.
- How should I speak when giving the address?
- Confidently.
As you can see, we can only use adverb answers when someone has provided a verb for us to modify. In the first example, we are modifying the verb “look” with “happily” to show that we’re happy to take a look at what they’ve done.
The second example modifies the verb “speak” with “confidently” to show that we have a specific desire to listen to someone speak with a confident tone.
Accusatives
Accusatives are exactly what the name would suggest they are. We can use them to accuse someone specifically. The most common way for us to do this as a sentence word is by using object pronouns to point the finger toward someone you might have done something wrong.
If you don’t know what we mean, these examples will clear things up:
- Him.
- Her.
- Them.
- That.
- It.
- You.
- Me.
- Us.
Accusatives work well when someone has asked us for a culprit. If we know that someone has done something wrong (or even if we know that someone will be helpful to answer a question), we can use this form.
Here are some examples that should help you:
- Do you know who did it?
- Him.
- Who is the smartest person here?
- Her.
It doesn’t always have to refer to bad things. Sometimes, we can use the accusative form just to pick someone out from a crowd. It’s a quick way for us to respond to a question with a pronoun rather than an explanation.
Exclamations
Exclamations are another really common form of sentence words. A simple “yes” or “no” can apply when we are using exclamations. They are called exclamations because they allow someone to exclaim their answer to a question without more explanation.
Here are a couple of examples that will help you to figure it out:
- Yes.
- No.
- Maybe.
- Oh.
There are plenty of other exclamations in English, and some people will treat them more as interjections. For example, you might be familiar with ones like “huh” or “err.”
However, we didn’t want to include these ones because they’re not technically words that you can use in English. It’s always best to stick with ones that actually have definitions, which is why we thought it was reasonable to only include a handful.
Now you have all the necessary information to help you start using sentence words yourself. Exclamations tend to be one of the most common ways to do this without even thinking about it, so get to work!

Here I’m going to highlight some of the simplest sentences in English. All of these sentences are only ONE word long! Sit back, relax, and enjoy; these are going to be some of the easiest English sentences you’ve ever learned. (It is about time something in English was easy, right?!)
One-word sentences in English come in a few different forms:
interrogatives or questions (example: Who?)
imperatives or commands (example: Stop!)
declaratives (example: Me.)
locatives (example: Here.)
nominatives (example: Jesse.)
In fact a lot of words in English can be one-word sentences, it all depends on the context.
A complete sentence, even a one-word sentence, needs to have a noun and a verb. In one-word sentences the subject (noun) or the action (verb) of the sentence is implied. That means it is understood in the context of the sentence (or the sentences around it) so that the subject and/or verb do not need to be stated explicitly.
Being brief and saying as much as you can in as few words as possible is something a lot of people want to do. Be careful though, sometimes you can sound robotic or rude if you use too many one-word sentences.
Here is a list of some common one-word sentences. I’m sure you already use some of these. Along side the one-word sentences I have written out what you could say, with more words, to mean the same thing.
Hi. (Hi there.)
Wait. (Please wait.)
Begin. (You may begin.)
Stop. (You need to stop.)
Hurry. (Hurry up please.)
Catch. (Catch this.)
Here. (Here you go.)
Go! (Get going now!)
Help! (I need help!)
Eat. (Go ahead and eat.)
Yes. (Yes, that would be great.)
No. (No, thank you.)
Thank you. (Thank you, I really appreciate it.)
The wh-question words: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?
A lot of swear words: Sh*t., F*ck., etc.
