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.

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')
