No. It might be a complete predicate in "The boy ran quickly."
The simple predicate is only the verb and any helping verbs it uses, not adverbs.
Examples:
The cow has been milked today. (simple predicate: has been milked)
The man is walking to the store. (simple predicate: is walking).
The man enjoys jogging. (simple predicate: enjoys; jogging is a gerund/noun)

Examples of simple sentences look like these: 1. The girl ran to her room. 2. The baby cried. 3. The singer bowed. 4. The runner runs fast. 5. Nestor go to the office early. 6. He plays cricket.
