The word that usually starts the complete predicate is typically a verb. The complete predicate includes the verb and all the words that modify or complement it, providing information about the action or state of being of the subject. For example, in the sentence "The dog barks loudly," "barks" is the verb that begins the complete predicate.
Not usually, but sometimes. A complete predicate may include a "predicate adjective" that modifies the simple subject, as in the sentence, "She is pretty", in which "pretty" modifies the simple subject "she". However, this is by no means a necessary part of a predicate in general.
To modify a predicate, we can add adjectives or adverbs to enhance its meaning or provide additional context. For example, instead of using a simple predicate like "is interesting," we can modify it to "is very interesting" or "is incredibly interesting." Additionally, we can also change the structure of the predicate by incorporating phrases or clauses that elaborate on the action or state described. This helps create a more nuanced and expressive statement.
