The simple predicate in the sentence "All students are required to take three years of mathematics" is "are required." The simple predicate includes the main verb and any helping verbs, indicating the action or state of being in the sentence. In this case, it shows the obligation imposed on the students.
False. A predicate adjective describes or modifies the subject of a sentence, typically following a linking verb, rather than renaming it. For example, in the sentence "The sky is blue," "blue" is the predicate adjective that describes the subject "the sky." Renaming the subject is the function of a predicate nominative, not a predicate adjective.
A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "The flowers are beautiful," "beautiful" is the predicate adjective. A predicate nominative, on the other hand, is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames the subject. In the sentence "She is a teacher," "teacher" is the predicate nominative.
In this sentence, the simple predicate is "numbers."
The predicate in this sentence is across the floor. :)
Every sentence has two things: a subject and a predicate (verb). When you are asked to give the predicate of a sentence, they probably want the complex predicate. If they ask for the simple predicate, that's another matter. Here is an example.The small dog named Lady walked across the street.In the sentence above, the complex subject is "The small dog named Lady"- it's everything that has to do with what the sentence is about. The complex predicate is "walked across the street. "- everything that has to do with what the subject is doing.The simple subject is just the bare minimum of information, without any description at all. In this case, it would be "Lady." The simple predicate is just the verb that's doing all the action- in this sentence, "walked."So to give a sentence with a simple predicate and predicate, you simply have to identify what is the active verb (simple predicate), and what else is associated with the verb (predicate).Happy hunting,Inky
The word "cute" in the following sentence: He is cute. A predicate adjective is just an adjective in the predicate of a sentence, or following a verb.

A predicate requires a verb or a verb phrase. A predicate must also refer to the subject of the sentence.
The predicate is the verb and all of the words following the verb that relate to it. A sentence may have more than one predicate. The predicate answers what the subject is or what the subject does.
"finished" is the simple predicate in the sentence.
The complete predicate of this sentence is 'fascinate people'.
The simple subject is "which" and the predicate is "have been misspelled."
Sure! "She is a doctor." In this sentence, "doctor" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "she". "He became the captain." In this sentence, "captain" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "he".
The simple predicate is "are wandering".
The simple predicate is "was" and the complete predicate was "was hard".
The simple predicate of a sentence is simply the verb of the sentence. In this case, "made" is the verb, and therefore, also the simple predicate.
Not exactly. A predicate nominative (the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates the subject of the sentence) can be a subject complement; but a subject complement can also be a predicate adjective (the adjective following a linking verb which describes the subject of the sentence).In other words, a subject complement can be a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective.
