"have" is the simple predicate
"have many continents" is the complete predicate
All predicates contain a verb.
A complete predicate includes the entire action, including the verb, as well as an object or prepositional phrase.
Many people, sigh, use verb and predicate as if they are synonyms. They are not necessarily the same meaning.

Weezie, are you getting us to do your homework?
Sweetie, predicate means verb a verb is a word that denotes
action, like RUN
being, or state of being, like IS, or WAS like is or was
In this sentence, continents is the subject. Have is the predicate,
countries is the object of the predicate.

A verb you say? I must admit that my knowledge of English has been enriched with respect to the term predicate.
