What is the role of predicate in grammar?
In grammar, the predicate is the part of a sentence that contains the verb and provides information about the subject. It typically includes any words or phrases that modify the verb or complete its meaning, such as objects, complements, or adverbial phrases. The predicate helps to convey the action or state of being described by the verb in a sentence.

What is predicate-?
The predicate is the part of the sentences that is not the subject and its modifiers. A predicate is the verb and the words that follow the verb that are related to that verb. A sentence can have one or more predicates. A predicate may be just a verb.Examples of predicates in bold:Mary is driving. (the predicate is a verb only)He will come soon. (soon is an adverb modifying the verb 'will come')Mom made some chocolate chip cookies.We had some lunch and then went to the movie. (this sentence has two predicates)
What is the differences between the simple predicate and a complete predicate?
Predicates: Complete predicates are all words other than the subject and its modifiers. Simple predicates are only the verb with helping word (i.e. has, have, had, was, is, etc.) If there are any. Simple predicates are the part of the predicate that includes only the verb(s). The dog stole and buried the bones. "stole" and "buried" are the simple predicates. They can actually be considered a compound predicate, which is a type of simple predicate in which the subject does two or more actions. "stole and buried the bones" is the complex predicate. It includes everything that can modify the action.
It is sometimes called the simple predicate?
The verb is sometimes called the simple predicate. Simple predicates are the helping word and verb combination. All sentences have two parts that are the subject and predicate.
Is a predicate the same thing as a verb?
No. A predicate must have a verb, and a verb all by itself can be a predicate. But there are verbs that are not predicates, and there can be predicates that have much more in them than verbs. Example 1 is a sentence with a predicate that's just a verb.Example 2 is a sentence with a predicate that has a verb and more.Example 3 is a sentence with a verb that is not in itself a predicate. The predicates are in italics. My sister works.My sister works at a coffee shop after school. My sister wants to earn money for college.In example 3, the entire predicate is "wants to earn money for college." The main verb is "wants." "To earn" is also a verb, but it is not the main verb and it is not a predicate. In this case it is functioning as a noun to say what it is that my sister wants (a verbal noun acting as the object of a transitive verb). === ===

No. The word compel is a verb, and does not use the suffix -ful (makes adjectives from nouns). The adjectives related to the verb compel are the predicates: compelling and compelled.
What is the predicates of the sentence?
The predicate is simply a fancy word for "verb". The simple predicate is only the verb, and the complete predicate includes the verb, modifiers (adjectives and adverbs), and prepositional phrases that usually is the rest of the sentence after the verb. (Except in poetry)
What are all the simple predicates?
A sentence is made up of a subject and a predicate. A predicate is a verb and 'everything else'. I'm not sure what you mean by a simple predicate but a predicate could just be a verb e.g. I ran or I ran away or it could be a sentence with a verb and an object e.g. I saw him or I left the house.
