Ate is an action word.
The object of the verb or the indirect object of the verb comes after an action verb. The verb and the words related to that verb are called the predicate.A predicate can be a single word: a noun, a pronoun, an adverb.She ate lunch. She enjoyed it. She ate early.A predicate can be a noun phrase or a noun clause.She ate some carrots. She ate carrots roasted with garlic.
A verb with a direct object is a transitive verb. It requires an object to complete its meaning in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I ate the apple," the verb "ate" is transitive, and "apple" is the direct object of the verb.
The sentence "Joan ate the sandwich" follows a simple subject-verb-object (SVO) structure. "Joan" is the subject who performs the action, "ate" is the verb that describes the action, and "the sandwich" is the object that receives the action. This straightforward structure conveys a complete thought clearly and concisely.
The subject is the part of a sentence that does the action of the verb. It comes before the verb.The verb shows action eg run walk listen sit write.For example Annie ate the ice cream. (verb = ate)or the verbs shows state eg love know be forgetFor example: Annie likes ice cream. (verb=like)Annie is the subject because Annie is the person (or thing) that "likes" or "ate".

Ate is an irregular verb.
The active voice of a verb occurs in a sentence where the subject ('doer') of the action of the verb is also the grammatical subject of the verb. For example 'The boy ate the sandwich.' Here 'the boy' performs the action of eating, and is also the subject of the verb 'ate'. In contrast, the passive voice occurs where the doer of the action of the verb is the grammatical object of the verb. For example 'The sandwich was eaten by the boy.' Here 'the boy' still performs the action of eating, but 'the sandwich' is the subject of the verb 'was eaten'. 'My mother always does the washing up.' (Active) 'The washing up is always done by my mother.' (Passive)
Adverbs offer additional information about the verb, such as manner, frequency, time, or degree. They help clarify the action being performed by the verb. Together, they enhance the overall clarity and precision of the message being conveyed.
