Is clerk a predicate adjective?
Without a complete sentence, clerk is just a word. More specifically, it's a noun and can't be used as a predicate adjective. Because clerk is a noun, it can be used as a predicate nominative. Example: Barbara is a clerk.
A sentence without butandor?
Only compound sentences use the words "and", "but", and "or". An example of a sentence without these words is: "Casey is a brown dog".
Can you give me an example of a complete subject and a complete predicate in the same sentence?
It is impossible to form a sentence without a complete subject and a complete predicate. Those are the two required constituent parts of any sentence. The subject is the simple subject and any of its associated parts, such as adjectives, and the predicate is the verb and any of its associated parts, such as adverbs and predicate objects. The shortest possible sentence in the English language is, "I am." The subject is "I" and the predicate is "am."
What is the simple predicate in the girl in the pink dress is your sister?

Why do verbs always appear in sentences?
Without a verb (predicate), a sentence is not a sentence. They are the indicators of identity or action.The only time a predicate is not used is for certain interjections, which are not sentences.These include such comments as:Ouch! -- Shh! -- Huh? -- Wow! -- You! (actually may be the sentence "It is you!")A command is a sentence that often uses an understood subject (you), so the only part of the sentence is the verb. For example : Run! Get out of here.
What is the simple subject and the simple predicate of this sentence Twelve hours passed without a word?

Give a Sentence with a predicate and simple predicate?
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

Can a sentence have a simple predicate but without a complete predicate?
Yes but it's the way you diagram. ex.) Ducks quack. that is a simple subject=ducks simple predicate=quack but if you have= The teacher gave us homework. Teacher would be the subject or the complete subject would be, The teacher. the simple predicate would be, gave. the complete predicate would be, gave us homework. (i had a really good grammar teacher this year!)
Differences between compound and complex sentences in English language with example?
A compound sentence is made using conjunctions such as and, but, so, or and then.For example,He ate a banana and drank some juice.Usually, these sentences have to have two clauses. The two clauses are in bold in the sentence above.A complex sentence is made without using the words and, but, so, or and then. It also has two clauses, which are in bold in the sentence below.He grew very pale as he had hit a policeman.It is my understanding that your first example, "He ate a banana and drank some juice" is not a compound sentence because it is not two independent clauses. There is no subject in the second clause. Your example is a simple sentence with a compound predicate. A compound sentence has two independent clauses (subject and predicate) joined by the conjunctions for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. (Helpful hint: The first letter of each of the coordinators spells FANBOYS). A comma would be used in the compound sentence. Ex. He ate a banana, and she drank some juice. A complex sentence using different conjunctions. There is often a cause/effect relationship in complex sentences, but not always. Ex. My mother called the doctor because I was ill. If the conjunctive phrase is used at the beginning of the sentence use a comma. Ex. Because I was ill, my mother called doctor.If I'm in error, I'd love further information......Thanks!Yeah...He ate a banana and drank some juiceis not an example of a compound sentence. The second statement must have a subject to make it an independent clause. Compound Sentence consists of more than one independent clause joined together with a co-ordinating conjunctions. Your right...FANBOYS...for, and, nor,but,or,yet,so
Is this sentence a compound sentence Last summer you decided to drive to the beach?
The sentence "Last summer you decided to drive to the beach." is not a compound sentence.To have a compound sentence, you need to have at least two independent clauses. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate and makes sense without any other clauses. The two (or more) clauses are connected by a conjunction. Sentences can have conjunctions that join compound subjects or compound predicates, but they are not necessarily compound sentences.Examples of compound sentences:* My friend invited me to a tea party, but my parents wouldn't let me go.* Do you want to stay here or will you go shopping with me?* Neither Joy nor Marian can bake a cake, although their sister can.
