Simple is an adjective. As in a simpler manner or a simple design. Can be used as a noun as in, an ignorant or foolish person
The verb is 'To be' Present simple: # I am, We are # You are # He/she/it is, They are Past simple: # I was, We were # You were # He/she/it was, They were
A simple predicate is a verb. Take can be used as a verb.
No.Past simple and present simple are called simple because they have only one verb - a main verb, no auxiliary verbs.
The predicate is everything in a sentence that is not the subject. A simple predicate is a finite verb e.g. I am, or Stuff happens.
No, are is a verb. The verb "be" in the present simple is: (am - is - are)
No. A simple predicate is just a verb. "Once" is not a verb.
The past simple of the verb "to hide" is "hid."
In grammar simple means one verb. There are two tenses with one main verb -- past simple and present simple.Past simple -- I ate the cake. -- the verb ate is in past tense.Present simple -- I like cake. -- the verb like is in present tense.
The simple predicate is the key word in the predicate or verb part of the sentence. It is not the entire predicate because then it wouldn't be simple. The simple predicate in a sentence is also known as the verb or verbs. The simple predicate is only the main verb.
When used in grammar 'simple' means one verb. The simple tenses only have one verb egI like ice cream = present simpleI ate the ice cream = past simpleIn contrast other tenses have an auxiliary verb and a main verb or a be verb and a main verb or a modal verb and a main verb. eg have been, will see, is waiting, was eatenSome people call present perfect, present perfect simple, but I think this is not correct. Most grammar books I have talk about 2 simple tenses - present and past.
he is the simple subject and goes is the verb. the correct name would be predicate instead of verb
Simple tense means there is only one verb in the sentence. So a verb phrase cannot be a simple tense.She makes hats. -- present simple -- one verb (makes)She is making hats -- present continuous -- two verbs (am making)
