A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate but not both. A subject is present in a noun phrase, while a predicate is found in a verb phrase. An example of a phrase with a subject but no predicate is "the big tree."
A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate, but not both. For example, "under the table" is a phrase that functions as neither a subject nor a predicate.
Compound sentences include a verb that connects the subject to a word or phrase in the predicate. The predicate will then rename or describe the subject.
A predicate requires a verb or a verb phrase. A predicate must also refer to the subject of the sentence.
Well, honey, "ambled home" is a verb phrase, not a subject or predicate on its own. In the sentence "He ambled home," "he" is the subject and "ambled home" is the predicate. So, in short, "ambled home" is just strutting its stuff as a verb phrase, not trying to be something it's not.
This is called a phrase.
A complete sentence is comprised of a subject and a predicate. The subject is a noun or noun phrase, and the predicate essentially tells what the subject does.
A phrase does not necessarily need to have both a subject and a predicate; it is a group of words that may not express a complete thought. For example, noun phrases ("the tall tree") or prepositional phrases ("in the park") lack a subject-predicate structure. In contrast, a clause, which can be independent or dependent, does contain both a subject and a predicate.
Well a compound predicate is one or more verbs or verb phrase.
"Was cleaning" is part of the predicate. It is the verb phrase that describes the action being performed by the subject.
A simple sentence is made up of a subject (usually a noun) and a predicate (usually a verb).
The predicate is everything that is not the subject. The simple predicate is a verb or verb phrase. eg The man next door is a doctor complete subject = The man next door, complete predicate = is a doctor. simple subject = man, simple predicate = is The woman is waiting for her husband. complete subject = The woman, complete predicate = is waiting for her husband. simple subject = woman, simple predicate = is waiting
