To be verb
Every complete sentence has two parts, a subject and a predicate. The subject is the part of the sentence that tells who the sentence is about and the predicate tells what the subject is doing.
"must report at the office" is the complete predicate of the sentence. It includes the main verb "report" and the prepositional phrase "at the office."
Yes, the word 'through' is a preposition, an adverb, and an adjective.Examples:The ball went through a window. (preposition, 'a window' is the object of the preposition)We came through without a scratch. (adverb, modifies the verb 'came')The through traffic must take the left lane. (adjective, describes the noun 'traffic')When I finish this sentence, I'm through. (predicate adjective, restates the subject 'I')
The noun an adjective describes must be known, implied, or it must be present and obvious.Example:You know I went on a trip to Spain. I tell you, "It was beautiful!" "It" stands in place of "Spain was..."In informal speech, an adjective can be used as an exclamation.Examples: "Beautiful!" or "Great!"What is described may have been previously mentioned or it may have been observed or indicated.
(noun) (verb), (noun) (adjective) (verb); There's tons of different ways to organize a single sentence. As a long as you have a complete subject and a complete predicate, it should be a sentence. Something as simple as "she left." is a complete sentence because it has a subject and a verb. Not all sentences have to be detailed. A more in-depth sentence is "Barbara decided to leave for the mall after dinner, because she had other things to during the day."
The subject and predicate adjective must be connected by a linking verb, also called copula.
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.Example subject-linking verb-predicate adjective: You are funny.
In order for a sentence to contain a predicate adjective, it must have a linking verb. Questioned is the only verb in that sentence, and it's an action verb.
present A doctor must be present at the boxing match.
There is no predicate adjective in that sentence. In order for a sentence to have a predicate adjective, the verb must be a linking verb. Example: Mary is happy. ("is" is a linking verb, and "happy" is a predicate adjective) In the sentence "Your sister Mary teaches math and physical education at the high school", the verb (teaches) is transitive (a type of action verb that takes a direct object).
The difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
Not necessarily. In the English language, the only part of speech that must be present in a sentence is a verb; a sentence such as 'Sit.' contains only a verb, but it makes logical sense.A sentence that does not have a subject and predicate is called a minor sentence. Minor sentences have what is sometimes known as an invisible subject; that is, the subject is not present in the sentence, but still exists.For example, in the sentence 'Sit.', the subject is 'You', as that is the person being told to sit; the subject is not present in the sentence, however, and is therefore an invisible subject.
Yes there can!
A predicate requires a verb or a verb phrase. A predicate must also refer to the subject of the sentence.
The complete predicate must state one verb.
The plural form for the noun must is musts. The word must is also a verb, an auxiliary verb, and an adjective.
all predicates must have a verb but not all verbs need a predicate
