Explanation:
Every complete sentence according to English grammar contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is that what (or whom) the sentence is about. The predicate tells something about the subject. The predicate of the sentence in most cases contains the verb. Within the sentence that is “The child threw the ball,” the subject is “the child” and the predicate is “threw the ball.” An easy predicate is simply the main verb. Each sentence must have a main verb, and therefore the easiest way to find it is to look for a word that shows action. If there's no action verb in the given sentence, then the straightforward predicate of that sentence will be a "state of being" verb.
