Best Answer

An alloy is a blend of 2 or more metals. For example, brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, because you blend zinc and copper to get brass. The properties of any metal can be changed by mixing other substances with it, this mixture is called an alloy. Another definition would be: "An alloy is an element added to another element to change its characteristics." Almost all metals are alloyed. Some with multiple elements.

Simple predicte definition?

Are you referring to the definition to be simple or the definition of "simple predicate"? Anyway, I'm thinking that you mean the former. A simple predicate is the word that shows what is happening. In the before sentence, is is the simple predicate. "is the word that shows what is happening" is the whole predicate. A verb will not always be the simple predicate, and simple predicates will not always be 1 word.
