Hey Vinnu, there's one little problem here...
technically, "confused!!!" cant be called a sentence...
thats because you're omitting a part of the sentence..."I'm confused!" (complete sentence with subject, verb) is shortened to "Confused!!!" A stylistic device called Ellipsis.

Well, from what I remember. I think most of the words you mentioned don't qualify as being seperate sentences. I mean its more like an exclamation.

The only exception is the word "GO" which *doesn't* need any other qualifiers ie. prefixed/suffixed by other words.

Think about it !
