The predicate in a sentence typically includes the verb and any accompanying words that describe the action. For example, in the sentence "She ate a delicious cake," "ate a delicious cake" is the predicate because it includes the verb "ate" and the object "a delicious cake" that completes the action.
A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb in a sentence. It answers the question "what" or "whom" after the verb. For example, in the sentence "She baked a cake," "cake" is the direct object because it is the thing that was baked.
A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being in a sentence. A verb phrase consists of a main verb and any auxiliary (helping) verbs or modifiers that affect the verb's meaning.
She is making a delicious cake for the party tonight.
Verbs usually follow the subject. The subject is the person or thing that does the action of the verb eg John ate the last slice of cake. John = subject . ate = verb
No, for a verb to be a linking verb, the direct object of the verb must be a form of the subject or what the subject has become. The cake must have icing. (the cake is not and does not become the icing) We must have cake. (we are not the cake and we do not become cake) The cake is delicious. (cake = delicious, this is a linking verb) The cake is ready. (cake -> ready, this is a linking verb)
SV = Subject Verb (I like cake.)SSV = Subject, Subject, Verb (She and I like cake.)SVV = Subject, Verb, Verb (I like cake and hate yams.)SSVV = Subject, Subject, Verb, Verb (She and I like cake and hate yams.)
The wording "Cake the best to consume" is an incomplete thought / incomplete sentence and has no verb. Both the subject and verb need clarified.
