Question

Ralph's father put the new plants on the ground.

could you tell me what the compete predicate is and what the simple predicate is

and another one is

A wooden feeder for the birds hangs outside my window.

coukd you tell me the complete subject and simple subject thanks

Answer 1

complete predicate: put the new plants on the ground
simple predicate: put

complete subject: a wooden feeder for the birds
simple subject: feeder

for the simple, just make it into a simpler sentence:
father put
feeder hangs
(simple subject) (simple predicate)

then just add everything else around those to get the complete subject and predicate.

Answer 2

OK. Predicate - what is said about the subject.1) Subject - father. CP -rest of sentence. SP put plants on the ground
2) Subject: Feeder. Complete Subject: A wooden feeder for the birds.

Answer 3

1.)Complete Predicate: put the new plants on the ground
Simple Predicate: put

2.) Complete subject: Wooden feeder for the birds
Simple subject: feeder

Complete predicates contain the verb in the sentence plus all modifiers.
Simple predicates are JUST the verb

The same is true for Complete and Simple subjects:
Complete: NOUN that acts or is acted on plus all modifiers (like adjectives)
Simple: JUST the noun that acts or is acted on.

Hope that helps :)
