A word by itself is not a predicate. A predicate is a portion of a sentence which can consist of one or more words.
"Am" is a verb.
It is possible that when "am" is used in a sentence that "am" will be the predicate of the sentence, for example:
"Are you the chosen one? I am."
A simple predicate is only one word, so do not is not a simple predicate
A predicate noun (predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. A predicate nominative is a function in a sentence, not a specific noun; any noun can be a predicate nominative. The word 'writer' is a noun.
Yes because it can describe a noun--a popular person.
Sure it can--simple sentences with a one-word verb would be an example. "Ran" is the predicate in "She ran." "Jumped" is the predicate in "My tired, old dog jumped."
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.
Predicate Nomitive!
A simple predicate is only one word, so do not is not a simple predicate
A simple predicate is a predicate containing a one word and a compound predicate contains a verb with two words
A predicate noun (predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. A predicate nominative is a function in a sentence, not a specific noun; any noun can be a predicate nominative. The word 'writer' is a noun.
The word "is" can start a complete predicate in a sentence. For example, "She is running."
The word 'fun' is both a noun and an adjective.In the given sentence the word 'fun' can be said to be either a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective.
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
predicate is another word for verb or the action in a sentence
Just the word long is not a predicate. However in a sentence it could be.
Yes because it can describe a noun--a popular person.
Sure it can--simple sentences with a one-word verb would be an example. "Ran" is the predicate in "She ran." "Jumped" is the predicate in "My tired, old dog jumped."
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.
