What is simple predicate subject?
* Every sentence has two main parts: a simple subject and a simple predicate. The simple subject of a sentence is the main word in the complete subject. It is always a noun or a pronoun. The simple predicate is the complete verb within the complete predicate. The simple predicate may be one or more words.
What is a simple predicate and a complete predicate?
The simple predicate, or verb, is the main word or word group that tells something about the subject. The simple predicate is part of the complete predicate, which consists of a verb and all the words that describe the verb and complete its meaning.
How do you find simple subject and predicate?
Simple Subjects and Simple Predicates The simple subject is the key word or words in the complete subject. It is usually a noun or a pronoun. The simple predicate is the key word or words in the complete predicate. It is always a verb.
How do you identify the complete predicate?
Key Takeaways: Predicates A clause has a subject and a predicate. To be a sentence (an independent clause), there must be a subject and a predicate, and it needs to be a complete thought. A simple predicate is a verb; a complete predicate is everything that’s not the subject.
How do you find a complete predicate in a sentence?
Finding Complete Predicates The complete predicate contains the main verb and all of the words that describe the verb and make the sentence’s meaning clear. The predicate is usually in the second half of the sentence. In the sentence “Maria and her mother walked down the street,” the phrase “walked down the street” is the complete predicate.
Predicates can either be simple predicates or complete predicates. Whereas a simple predicate refers only to the verb or verb phrase in a sentence, a complete predicate includes not only the verb or verb phrase but also all the words that give more information about it. In this way, the predicate is complete.
