In English grammar, the predicate is part of a sentence that modifies the subject. It may consist of a simple verb, or it may be a phrase or group of words containing a verb, all of which work together to modify the subject. *
Examples, in which Jim is the subject of a sentence and the predicate is in italics:
Jim runs.
Jim runs fast.
Jim runs too fast.

Noun and predicate or verb
An object of the preposition is a noun that ends the prepositional phrase as in the following sentence: She looked at the nurse. The prepositional phrase is "at the nurse." The preposition is "at" and the objective if the preposition is "nurse." A predicate nominative follows a linking verb and renames the subject as in the following sentence: My sister is a nurse. The linking verb is "is" and the predicate nominative is "nurse" which renames the subject "sister."
The article (on robots) has excellent photography.
Some examples of predicate nominatives using personal pronouns include: "I am she," "You are he," and "They are we." In these examples, the personal pronouns (I, you, they) serve as the subjects of the sentences and are connected to the pronouns after the linking verb (am, are) to complete the predicate nominative construction.
The crying baby needed her diaper changed.
No. A linking verb is followed by a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective. Examples: Barbara is a nurse. (nurse is the predicate nominative) Barbara is happy. (happy is the predicate adjective)
A predicate nominative is the noun (or pronoun) that follows a linking verb.Ex. Bob is the king.In the above sentence, "king" is the predicate nominative.

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.
subject= the person in a story predicate=what the story is telling about the person example Rex went to work. subject=rex predicate=went to work.
In the sentence: "I drink milk", "I" is the subject and the rest of the sentence,"drink milk", (verb and object) is the predicate.
These are examples of sentences with predicate noun:Kate is a teacher.Mary Sanchez is a champion on drawing pictures!That lizard is ugly.
James likes reading. subject = James, predicate = likes We left our lunch at home. -- subject = we, predicate = left The doctor examined the patient -- subject = doctor predicate = examined He stole my book . -- subject = He predicate = stole The man is a monster -- subject = man predicate = is
All sentences must have some form of predicate. A predicate is a verb and all of the words that follow that are related to that verb. A predicate can be just the verb, a simple predicate. Examples: How did you get here so fast? I ran. (the verb 'ran' is a simple predicate) How did you get here so fast? I took the train from work. (the complete predicate is 'took the train from work'; the simple predicate is the verb 'took')
