There is no part of speech called a 'predicate proper' in English.
The predicate of a sentence is the verb and all the words related to that verb that tell something about the subject of the sentence.
The simple predicate is the verb itself.
The complete predicate is the verb and all the words related to that verb.
Examples:
Jane runs. (the simple predicate and the complete predicate is the verb 'runs')
Jane runs in the park every morning. (the simple predicate is the verb 'runs'; the complete predicate is 'runs in the park every morning')
Jane runs in the park then takes a shower before going to work. (this sentence has a compound predicate based on two verbs, 'runs' and 'takes', each with a group of words related to that verb)
A possessive adjective is a pronoun that is placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.
The possessive adjectives are: my, your, our, his, her, their, its.
Examples:
I made the pie from my mother's recipe.
Your garden looks beautiful.
We're planning a party for their anniversary.
Jack rode his bicycle to school.
Another interpretation of the question:
"What are predicate, proper, and possessive adjectives".
A predicate adjective is one that follows a linking verb. Example: Mary is happy. (happy is the predicate adjective)
A proper adjective is one that is derived from a proper noun. Example: Jose wants to be an American citizen. (American shows "what kind" of citizen)
