What is a 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.The simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase in the sentence (the simple predicate includes helper verbs such as did and can, but not adverbs).The complete predicate includes the verb and all the words that go with it to tell about the subject.For Example: "I did not go to school."Complete predicate - did not go to schoolSimple predicate - did goExamples 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)
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). === ===

What are complete predicates and simple predicates?
"Complete" predicates have lots of details (adverbs, phrases) about the verb. Simple predicates have simply the verbExample: The dog ran down the street. Simple predicate: ranExample: The dog ran down the street. Complete predicate: ran down the street
Examples of a compound predicate?
A compound predicate is a sentence with two or more predicates that share the same subject. For example, in the sentence "She sings and dances," the compound predicate is "sings and dances" because the subject "she" is doing both actions. Another example is "He runs, jumps, and swims," where "runs," "jumps," and "swims" are all part of the compound predicate.
She washed the shells and dried them in the sun?
She washed the shells and dried them in the sun is an example of a sentence that has a compound predicate. Two or more verbs that are separated by a conjunction are compound predicates.
What is a subject and predicate?
The subject of a sentence is the object, person, animal, or thing you are talking about in a sentence. (This is not to be confused with appositives, which is a further definition of a subject, usually separated by a comma on either side of it.) The predicate of a sentence is what is being said about the subject in the sentence, and it is always a verb (this includes is, am, are, has, have, had, was). Here is an example sentence: Betty danced onto the stage. In the preceding sentence, "Betty" is the subject, and "danced" is the predicate. Occasionally the order of subject-predicate can be flipped. Here is an example: On to the stage danced Betty. In a sentence there can also be multiple subjects and predicates. Here is an example: Billy and Joel and Mary and Alexis raced and chased each other at recess. In the preceding sentence the subjects are "Billy", "Joel", "Mary", and "Alexis". The predicates are "raced" and "chased".
Example of compound predicate?
The predicate is that part of the sentence that contains the verb. He ran and jumped and shouted and cried. 'He' is the subject. 'ran and jumped and shouted and cried' is the predicate and because it contains more than one verb, it is a compound predicate.
How do we modify a predicate?
To modify a predicate, we can add adjectives or adverbs to enhance its meaning or provide additional context. For example, instead of using a simple predicate like "is interesting," we can modify it to "is very interesting" or "is incredibly interesting." Additionally, we can also change the structure of the predicate by incorporating phrases or clauses that elaborate on the action or state described. This helps create a more nuanced and expressive statement.
Is there a list of simple predicates?

What is Sometimes called the simple predicative?
First, the "predicate" is just another name for the verb, the word that shows the action in a sentence. Every sentence needs a subject (the person, place or thing doing the action) and a predicate (the action word that tells what the subject has done). The simple predicate is usually the main verb in a sentence. For example: Jerry ran to catch the bus. The subject is Jerry. The word that tells what he did is "ran" and that is the simple predicate.
Examples of compound predicates and compound subjects?
