What is a simple sentence and what is a simple predicate?
A simple sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and expresses a complete thought. A simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase that tells what the subject of the sentence is doing.
Does a complete predicate includes words that modify the simple subject?
No, a complete predicate includes the verb and any words that modify or complete the verb, not the simple subject. The simple subject is the main noun in the sentence, while the complete predicate is the verb and everything related to it.
What is the simple predicate in the sentence 'I was surprised'?
The simple predicate in the sentence "I was surprised" is "was surprised." It indicates the action or state of being of the subject "I."
What is the simple subject and the simple predicate of this sentence Twelve hours passed without a word?
Simple subject: hours Simple predicate: passed
Can you give me an example of a complete subject and a complete predicate in the same sentence?
It is impossible to form a sentence without a complete subject and a complete predicate. Those are the two required constituent parts of any sentence. The subject is the simple subject and any of its associated parts, such as adjectives, and the predicate is the verb and any of its associated parts, such as adverbs and predicate objects. The shortest possible sentence in the English language is, "I am." The subject is "I" and the predicate is "am."
