basically the verb and everything afterwards

Answer 2

I'm going to assume you are in 4th grade or lower.

A sentence has two BASIC elements - subject and predicate. The subject is the topic of the action, while the predicate is the action itself. This means the the subject is a noun and the predicate is a verb.

Understand that the subject and the predicate can each be several words long - but to answer your question, the predicate is the action (verb) part of the sentence.

Answer 3

In a sentence, there is a subject and a predicate. The subject is the noun, and the predicate is the verb. For example:

What are you doing?
You=subject
Doing=predicate

Lisa gave me a puppy.
Lisa=subject
Gave=predicate

There are also predicate adjectives which are linked to the subject by 'linking verbs'. For example:

Suzie is pretty.
Suzie=subject
Is=linking verb
Pretty=predicate adjective


Thanks for asking, and I hope this helps!

Answer 4

Predicate in traditional grammar
In traditional grammar, a predicate is one of the two main parts of a sentence (the other being the subject, which the predicate modifies). The predicate must contain a verb, and the verb requires, permits or precludes other sentence elements to complete the predicate. These elements are: objects (direct, indirect, prepositional), predicatives (aka predicate complements) and adverbials (either obligatory or adjuncts). In the following examples, the predicate is underlined.

She dances. (verb only predicate)

John read the book. (direct object)

John's mother Felicity gave me a present. (indirect object without a preposition)

She listened to the radio. (prepositional object)

They elected him president. (predicative /object complement)

She met him in the park. (adverbial adjunct)

She is in the park. (obligatory adverbial / adverbial complement)

The predicate provides information about the subject, such as what the subject is doing or what the subject is like.
