Predicates

Types:

1. Simple Predicates: the verb or verb phrase of the sentence.

   	This is usually the only verb in the sentence and will be either action or linking
   	EX: John baked a cake.
   	EX: The Nina sailed to the New World.

2. Compound Predicates: two or more simple predicates in the same sentence

   	Must take the same subject
   	EX: John baked a cake and gave it to his mother.

3. Complete Predicates: the simple predicate, complements, and all modifiers of each

   	Usually, this is everything from the verb to the end of the sentence
   	EX John baked a cake.
   	EX: Before the game began, Alex had a tailgate party.
