CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is a complete predicate? A complete predicate includes the simple predicate as well as all other words that describe the action. Essentially, the complete predicate is all the words in a sentence or clause except the subject and words that describe the subject.

Detailed explanation-2: -Caleb swam in the pool all day. In this sentence, the main verb is swam. The prepositional phrase “in the pool” describes where Caleb swam, and the adverb phrase “all day” describes to what extent Caleb swam, so the complete predicate here is “swam in the pool all day.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Finding the predicate is as easy as finding the verb (the action of the sentence). You can ask yourself what the subject is doing. The answer is the predicate. Usually, the predicate follows the subject, as we saw in the section about locating the subject.

Detailed explanation-4: -* Every sentence has two main parts: a complete subject and a complete predicate. The complete subject includes all words that tell who or what the subject is. Example: Most birds | can fly. The complete predicate includes all words that state the action or condition of the subject.
