Can an infinitive verb be the predicate of a sentence?
It is certainly unusual for an infinitive verb to be used as the predicate of a sentence, but in English all sorts of improbable constructions do come up. There is a line in Shakespeare that comes to mind: "To sleep, perchance to dream." As a grammarian I might try to expand the sentence by putting in the parts that are only implied: I am going to sleep and perchance I am also going to dream. In the expanded version, the predicate is going, which is not an infinitive. Even so, as originally written the line consists pretty much only of infinitive verbs.

Compound subject and simple predicate?
A compound subject is when two or more subjects share the same predicate in a sentence. For example, "John and Sarah went to the store." The simple predicate is the main verb in the sentence that shows the action or state of being of the subject. In the example sentence, "went" is the simple predicate.
Examples of a compound predicate?
A compound predicate is a sentence with two or more predicates that share the same subject. For example, in the sentence "She sings and dances," the compound predicate is "sings and dances" because the subject "she" is doing both actions. Another example is "He runs, jumps, and swims," where "runs," "jumps," and "swims" are all part of the compound predicate.
