First, the "predicate" is just another name for the verb, the word that shows the action in a sentence. Every sentence needs a subject (the person, place or thing doing the action) and a predicate (the action word that tells what the subject has done). The simple predicate is usually the main verb in a sentence. For example: Jerry ran to catch the bus. The subject is Jerry. The word that tells what he did is "ran" and that is the simple predicate.
Verbs are sometimes called simple predicates.
A predicative noun is a noun that follows a linking verb and renames the subject. A predicative adjective, on the other hand, is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject.
sometimes called the simple predicate
The verb is sometimes called the simple predicate. Simple predicates are the helping word and verb combination. All sentences have two parts that are the subject and predicate.
Sometimes a childlike individual is called simple, sometimes innocent but childlike works.

Predicative possessive pronouns are those who are used without the noun and instead of the noun to which they refer : Whose coat is this ? It is mine (my coat).
A predicate noun (more correctly called a predicative noun) is a type of complement. The complement element of a clause adds meaning to that of another clause element - either the subject (the subject complement), or the object (the object complement). A subject complement (Cs) renames the subject, for example in 'John is an accountant', 'John' is the subject and 'an accountant' is a subject complement (predicative noun). An object complement (Co) renames the object, for example in 'I find your children angels', 'children' is the object and 'angels' is an object complement (predicative noun). Be careful to avoid confusing 'predicative nouns' with 'predicative adjectives' - the latter describes rather than renames the subject or object. In the above examples if you replace 'an accountant' and 'angels' with 'fat' and 'charming' respectively, these would be predicative adjectives.
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.
I believe it is a subject complement, what used to be called a predicative adjective. Game over is really a kind of contraction of The game is over.
