OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does those words mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous_user):

Compound verb contains the word 'and' Simple predicate is just one verb Complete predicate is kind of like a phrase. Ex: heard the blaring sirens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The simple predicate is the verb in the sentence. If the verbs are connected by "and" showing two actions by the subject, such as "ran and played," the simple predicate is both verbs. The complete predicate is the verb and all the words that modify the verb and complete its meaning. For example: The dog stole and buried the bones. "stole" and "buried" are the simple predicates. They can actually be considered a compound predicate, which is a type of simple predicate in which the subject does two or more actions. "stole and buried the bones" is the complete predicate. It includes everything that can modify the action.

OpenStudy (anonymous_user):

It contains the word 'and' so it's not a complete predicate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is a theme one word or a sentence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous_user):

If 'Have you ever seen' was underlined it would be a complete predicate. But, because 'have' and 'seen' are underlined it's a compound verb
