In this sentence, the simple predicate is "numbers."
The predicate in this sentence is across the floor. :)
Every sentence has two things: a subject and a predicate (verb). When you are asked to give the predicate of a sentence, they probably want the complex predicate. If they ask for the simple predicate, that's another matter. Here is an example.The small dog named Lady walked across the street.In the sentence above, the complex subject is "The small dog named Lady"- it's everything that has to do with what the sentence is about. The complex predicate is "walked across the street. "- everything that has to do with what the subject is doing.The simple subject is just the bare minimum of information, without any description at all. In this case, it would be "Lady." The simple predicate is just the verb that's doing all the action- in this sentence, "walked."So to give a sentence with a simple predicate and predicate, you simply have to identify what is the active verb (simple predicate), and what else is associated with the verb (predicate).Happy hunting,Inky

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.
The word "cute" in the following sentence: He is cute. A predicate adjective is just an adjective in the predicate of a sentence, or following a verb.

A predicate requires a verb or a verb phrase. A predicate must also refer to the subject of the sentence.
The predicate is the verb and all of the words following the verb that relate to it. A sentence may have more than one predicate. The predicate answers what the subject is or what the subject does.
Sure! "She is a doctor." In this sentence, "doctor" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "she". "He became the captain." In this sentence, "captain" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "he".
The complete predicate of this sentence is 'fascinate people'.
"finished" is the simple predicate in the sentence.
The simple subject is "which" and the predicate is "have been misspelled."
The simple predicate is "are wandering".
The predicate in the sentence "The trail was hard" is "was hard". This is because the predicate describes the action or state of the subject, in this case, the trail.
The simple predicate of a sentence is simply the verb of the sentence. In this case, "made" is the verb, and therefore, also the simple predicate.
Not exactly. A predicate nominative (the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates the subject of the sentence) can be a subject complement; but a subject complement can also be a predicate adjective (the adjective following a linking verb which describes the subject of the sentence).In other words, a subject complement can be a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective.
