The simple predicate is more commonly known as the verb.
Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. In the following sentences, the subject is in brackets and the predicate is highlighted:
(The dog) barks.
(The dog) chased the cat around the garden.
(The board) discussed the upcoming merger.
A predicate has at its centre a simple predicate, which is always the verb or verbs that link up with the subject. In the above examples, the simple predicates are "barks" "chased" and "discussed".
The simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase in a sentence.
In the sentence 'I asked a question on WikiAnswers', 'I' is the simple subject and 'asked' is the simple predicate. The complete predicate is 'asked a question on WikiAnswers.'
The simple predicate is the verb in the sentence. A simple subject is the noun doing the action.

Start with this a simple predicate shows action and is a verb example are clapping, will be, play, are enjoying,sings, walks. The simple predicate maybe more than one word. It may be a main verb and a helping verbex: an aria is sung by one person the word is the the simple predicate the word sung is not (sung is not showing action it is the past tense of sing if i said ellen is singing the opera. Is singing is the simple predicate because singing is an action verb and is singing is the simple predicate hope his helps
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.
The simple predicate is the key word in the predicate or verb part of the sentence. It is not the entire predicate because then it wouldn't be simple. The simple predicate in a sentence is also known as the verb or verbs. The simple predicate is only the main verb.
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.
A simple predicate is the main very that is in the predicate of a sentence. The simple predicate tells you what the subject is doing. An example is in the sentence My mom started the dryer, the word started is the simple predicate.
A simple predicate is only one word, so do not is not a simple predicate
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.
A simple predicate is a predicate containing a one word and a compound predicate contains a verb with two words
The KEY word in the predicate part of the sentence. It is not the WHOLE predicate. The simple predicate in a sentence is also known as the verb or verbs. The SIMPLE Predicate is not all the other words that are found in the predicate
No. 'It' is a simple subject.
No. A simple predicate is just a verb. "Once" is not a verb.
finished is the answer its a simple predicate.
A simple predicate is a verb. Take can be used as a verb.
