"Are" is often a simple predicate, as in, "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you", where it occurs three times as a simple predicate.
Three: pred-i-cate.
B.Types
Actually, there are more than three of them. These are simple subject, simple predicate, complete subject and complete predicate. I can say this because we are studying these.:)
Noun Clause - A phrase with a subject and predicate that functions syntactically as a noun.Ex. The man who likes chess will play it all day.Adverbial Clause - A phrase with a subject and a predicate that functions syntactically as an adverb.Ex. The dog runs wildly, as if he were chasing a mailman.Adjectival Clause - A phrase with a subject and a predicate that functions syntactically as an adjective.Ex. The girls who like dancing came over with a boom box.
In grammar, the predicate is the part of a sentence that contains the verb and provides information about the subject. It typically includes any words or phrases that modify the verb or complete its meaning, such as objects, complements, or adverbial phrases. The predicate helps to convey the action or state of being described by the verb in a sentence.
here is chiefs in a sentance with a predicate nominative:In pursuing the fire bug, the Fire Chiefs from three counties were relentless.here is chiefs as a predicate nominative:In each tribe the strongest braves became chiefs.
Complete predicate
a predicate objective is a predicate that has an objective
There are two kinds of clauses and three types of clauses in the English language. The two kinds are independent and dependent. An independent clause consists of a subject and a predicate that represent a complete thought. Dependent clauses depend on independent clauses to make complete sense. the three dependent clauses are noun clauses, adjective clauses, and adverb clauses.
Can is a modal verb. It is not a predicate or part of predicate until it is used in a sentence.I can see you - can see you = the predicate. can = simple predicate
Adjectives are parts of speech that add description. There are four types of adjectives: descriptive adjectives, limiting adjectives, predicate adjectives and verbals as adjectives.
