Another name for a predicate?

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.


Is the verb or verb phrase The predicate of 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.


When predicate is part of the sentence does it always contain a noun or pronoun?

No, a predicate does not always contain a noun or a pronoun.A predicate is the part of the sentences that is not the subject or its modifiers. A predicate is the verb and the words that follow the verb that are related to that verb. A predicate may be just a verb.Examples sentences containing a predicate with no nouns or pronouns:Mary is driving. (the predicate is a verb only)She will come soon. (soon is an adverbmodifying the verb will come)Today is hot. (hot is an adjective, a predicate adjective).
