Concept in Definition ABC

Inside of Grammartraditional, the predicate is that part of the sentence whose nucleus is the verb and which refers to a commentary about the subject with which they make up a simple sentence. The predicate is indispensable so that the bimembre sentence exists and so that it has meaning.

Meanwhile, you can distinguish two types of predicate, the nominal and the verbal. The Nominal Predicate is composed of a copulative verb (to be, to be) and a attribute. The subject is the part of the sentence that will be directly related to the attribute and the verb will act as a link between the attribute and the subject. And the Verbal Predicate is made up of a non-copulative verb, which works strictly as the nucleus of the predicate.

In both cases, in the verbal predicate always and in the nominal predicate, sometimes, they can be accompanied by other complements, complement direct, indirect complement, regime complement, circumstantial complement, agent complement, among others.

On the other hand, for the so-called Functional Grammar, the predicate is that description of a future state of things that could occur in the world. Among the states plausible to occur are: stationary situation, the action and the result of an event.

In the Logic, the predicate will be that which is affirmed or in its defect is denied of a subject at the behest of a certain proposition.

And in Computing, the predicate is a function that can return a true or false value.
