In English grammar, predicates are categorized as simple, compound, or complete. Let's take a look at them in detail, with examples:

Types of Predicate

Explanation

Examples

Simple Predicate

This is the main verb (or verb phrase) in a sentence, expressing the core action or state of being.

·       The dog barked loudly.

·       They play soccer.

Compound Predicate

This predicate includes two or more simple predicates that are linked by a conjunction (like "and," "but," "or").

·       The CAT jumped and played.

·       He ate pizza or pasta for dinner.

Complete Predicate

This encompasses the entire part of a sentence that tells something about the subject, including the simple or compound predicate along with any modifiers like objects, adverbs, or other phrases.
