"Live on an island" is a complete predicate because it includes the action being performed ("live") along with the location ("on an island").
That is not a complete sentence. You need a noun and a verb for a complete sentence.
The simple predicate in the sentence is "live." It is the verb that shows the action or state of being performed by the subject "insects."
We say "I live on an island" because the preposition "on" is used to denote location on a surface, such as an island.
In the sentence "There is where I live," "There" is acting as a subject, renamed by the predicate nominative noun phrase "where I live." I think. There behaves like a subject in: questions: Is there any thing to eat? To - infinitive clauses: I don't want there to be any mistakes. -ing clause: There being no further business the meeting was canceled. (this is a bit formal)
You live in the city is a complete sentence. The prepositional phrase is in the city. You is the subject, and live is the verb. They are not part of the prepositional phrase.

Yes, a predicate is the verb and all of the words related to that verb that follow the verb; there can be more than one predicate in a sentence. The words related the verb included in the predicate can be a noun or nouns. Examples:This restaurant was recommended by my sister. ('was recommended by my sister' is the complete predicate, 'sister' is a noun)The Browns live on this street. ('live on this street is the complete predicate, 'street' is a noun)
"Zebras" are the subject and "live" is the predicate.

No, the word 'live' is NOT a noun.The word 'live' is a verb and an adjective.The noun form of the verb 'live' is the gerund, living.The noun form of the adjective 'live' is liveliness.A predicate noun (also called a predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.A linking verb acts as an equal sign; the subject of the sentence is or becomes the object of the verb.Example nouns functioning as predicate nouns:Her skill with animals became her living as a veterinarian.skill = livingThe block party was liveliness in the street. party = liveliness
No, it is a verb, or an adjective.
