grammar pedant here: no, it's a modal auxillary verb.
An easy way of learning most of them: could, would, should...THEY RHYME.
may, might, must ALL BEGIN WITH 'M'.
Others include semi-modals; ought, need, have to etc but that's enough for now.
Quite possibly, modals & prepositions are the most confusing language items for non-native speakers to understand so make a point of getting to grips with them. The rest will fall into place if you can do modals & prepositions.
First, the "predicate" is just another name for the verb, the word that shows the action in a sentence. Every sentence needs a subject (the person, place or thing doing the action) and a predicate (the action word that tells what the subject has done). The simple predicate is usually the main verb in a sentence. For example: Jerry ran to catch the bus. The subject is Jerry. The word that tells what he did is "ran" and that is the simple predicate.
latest is the simple predicate and latest dances is the complete predicate
The simple predicate is the main verb. In this case there are two verbs that together act as the simple predicate. So the simple predicate is runs,work
yes it can example: can fly that is a simple predicate
the boy ate the apple predicate(ate the apple)
A simple predicate is only one word, so do not is not a simple predicate
It could be either. Example as a simple subject: "Eat only your share of the cake." Example as a simple predicate: "Share the cake with your sister."
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.
A simple predicate is a predicate containing a one word and a compound predicate contains a verb with two words
A simple subject is the key word that tells the reader what or whom the sentence is talking about. The simple predicate is the main verb that describes the subject. A very simple example of a simple subject and predicate in a sentence could be, "Anna runs."
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
No. 'It' is a simple subject.
No. A simple predicate is just a verb. "Once" is not a verb.
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.
finished is the answer its a simple predicate.
The predicate is a part of a sentence containing averb that makes a statement about the subject of the verb, such as went to work in John went to work.Do is a verb. It could be part of a simple predicate but by itself it is a verb.
the simple subject is movie and the simple predicate is could
