Answer 3

Can YOU post what you think the answers are? That way I can help you understand why you are correct or not.

Remember... Mr. Morton is the subject of the sentence, and what the predicate says, he does...

Answer 5

In each of your sentences, the subject happens to be the first word and the predicate is everything else.

Answer 6

I think I see your problem. Your sentences have helping verbs. Don't forget they are verbs too and are therefore part of the simple predicate. Hope this helps. Good luck.
