Simple Predicate Example

The sentence is made up of the subject and the predicate, the subject is the person or thing that is being talked about and the predicate is what is said about the subject. The union between the subject and the predicate is the verb, which indicates the action of the subject. The subject can perform two or more actions within an action, eg. (jump and run, dance and sing). When the subject only performs one action, it is a simple predicate.

Let's exemplify the above:

Ernesto ate early.

Ernesto = subject
ate = verb (action)
ate early = predicate

The simple predicate is all that predicate that carries a single verb or expresses a single action or state.

Mr. Pedroworks day and night

In this sentence the subject is one: "Mr. Pedro”

The predicate is simple: "works day and night”

The verb is "works”And because it is only an action it is a simple predicate.

All simple predicates express a single action of the subject and have a single verb.

There is only one exception in which you can have two or more verbs and it is when they form a single expression or state:

1.- Francisco thiseating fish.

Verb 1 = this
Verb 2 = eating

2.- Francisco there wasconditioneating fish

Verb 1 = had
Verb 2 = state
Verb 3 = eating

Thus a simple predicate exists when there is a single verb that reflects the main action and if there are more verbs, these are complements of the sentence.
