A predicate is the action, or verb part of a sentence. Therefore a substitute of the word predcate is verb.
Another name for the predicate in a sentence is a Verb. The Predicate tells what the action is. It's the verb in the sentence.
"Another animal with a strange name" is the subject. "is the Platypus" is the predicate. "Another" & "with a strange name" all modify the noun "animal". "is" is the verb. "Platypus" is a proper noun, but in this sentence it is used as an indirect object in the predicate, and refers to the "animal with a strange name" in the subject. "animal with a strange name" is the object of the sentence. The sentence would be diagramed thusly... subject | predicate Another animal with a strange name | is the Platypus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

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.

There is no predicate. Why there is no predicate because the predicate is usually the verb then the rest of the sentence. so their is only an simple predicate which is move.
