What is the simple predicate in the sentence brush your teeth after every meal?
I would tend to argue that there is no simple predicate in the sentence you have submitted because the simple predicate is used to refer to a verb that indicates what the subject is doing (or being). The verb in this sentence (brush) does not indicate that anyone is brushing anything, but rather it is an imperative sentence that indicates that the speaker desires you to take that action after every meal.A Deeper Treatment:One can take the sentence only at face value, so it can be argued, however, that the simple predicate is brush. The sentence is a declarative statement. The actual sentence can be interpreted to read, "(You) brush your teeth after every meal," the initial You being implied by the imperative nature of the sentence, and the subject of the sentence.Understand that every sentence must contain a subject and a predicate, otherwise it is nothing more than a phrase. Take the sentence as an example:(You) = the subject...brush... = the predicate...your teeth... = the objectThe prepositional phrase, "...after every meal," is simply intended to clarify.---------------------------Treated even more deeply I must respectfully disagree with the supervisor. It is not true that every sentence must contain a predicate or even a subject. A sentence must merely express a complete idea. For example, "Yes." "Of course not." and "Oops!" are complete sentences in their own right.Additionally, many sentences do not contain subjects but rather the subject is implied therein. If someone says "Be on time!" there is no explicit subject contained in the phrase nor will simply tacking a "You" on the front resolve this problem as there is a subject-verb disagreement between "you" and "be."In the user-submitted sentence the idea that is being implied is likely: "It is a good idea to brush your teeth after every meal" or (said by an authority figure) "I require you to brush your teeth after every meal." Both of these sentences are being expressed in two separate moods. The first part, for example, "It is a good idea" is being expressed in the indicative mood in which factual statements are relayed. The second part is in the imperative or subjunctive mood, in which orders, commands, suggestions, and counter-to-fact statements are relayed.That being the case, I would tend to argue that the simple predicate is not contained in the sentence in question. If indeed we understand the sentence in question to be a valid variation of: "It is a good idea to brush your teeth after every meal" then the simple predicate is is, although even expert opinion can be divided on the proper way to use and classify speech.
