No. A predicate must have a verb, and a verb all by itself can be a predicate. But there are verbs that are not predicates, and there can be predicates that have much more in them than verbs. Example 1 is a sentence with a predicate that's just a verb.
Example 2 is a sentence with a predicate that has a verb and more.
Example 3 is a sentence with a verb that is not in itself a predicate. The predicates are in italics. My sister works.My sister works at a coffee shop after school. My sister wants to earn money for college.
In example 3, the entire predicate is "wants to earn money for college." The main verb is "wants." "To earn" is also a verb, but it is not the main verb and it is not a predicate. In this case it is functioning as a noun to say what it is that my sister wants (a verbal noun acting as the object of a transitive verb). === ===
The simple predicate is the same thing as the verb. It is one of two necessary components to make a sentence; the other is a subject.
predicate nominativen. A noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and refers to the same person or thing as the subject of the verb.For example:The girl in the red dress is Sarah, our daughter.The phrase Sarah, our daughter, is the predicate nominative. It refers to the same person as the subject, girl.
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.
Well, the verb is known as the simple predicate and the entire predicate is known as the complete predicate. A verb phrase is basically a series of verbs. Like when you say, "It could be bad." Verb phrase = the main verb and all its helping verbs.
all predicates must have a verb but not all verbs need a predicate

A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun. A predicate noun is a noun.
its not a thing. they must mean the verb.
subject is the main thing predicate is what discribes the subject
If you're asking if subjective predicate and linking verb is the same, they're not. A subjective predicate is a noun that talks about the subject, as in:My father is my inspiration in all my endeavors.A linking verb links the subject to the predicate, as in:She is pretty.She is the subject, while pretty is the predicate.
The subject is the thing you're talking about, and the predicate (the verb) is the action word, or what you're doing
The difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
Yes and no.They refer to the same noun, but are not the same word. A predicate nominative is a noun that is found in the predicate (the verb half of the sentence) that renames the subject. Example: "Allison is president of the senior class." 'Allison' is the subject;' is 'is the verb. 'President' is a noun found in the predicate which is re-naming Allison. President is the predicate nominative.
