@Kailey14 It's the whole thing :3
pred·i·cate noun Grammar noun: predicate; plural noun: predicates ˈpredikət/ 1. the part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject (e.g., went home in John went home ). "predicate adjective"
now what do you think it is right @Hero
Usually a sentence is divided into the subject and the predicate. The subject is all of the words that make up who/what is doing the action in the sentence. The predicate is all of the words that make up the action being performed. Ex: My eighty-five year old gray-haired grandmother bought a new, red Porsche. Subject: My eighty-five year old gray-haired grandmother Predicate: bought a new, red Porsche. The simple subject is the one, main noun that is doing the action (grandmother) The simple predicate is the one, main verb that is the action being performed (bought). Sometimes, the sentence will have a helping verb in it, also. Ex.: My mother is watering the flowers. The helping verb "is" would be included in the predicate, making it: is watering
The complete subject consists of all the words that tell whom or what a sentence is about. so what do you think, im not giving the answers just giving you a tip
