Exploring Simple, Complete, and Compound Predicates

The video tutorial, led by Miss Harrier, covers the concept of predicates in sentences. It explains the three types of predicates: simple, complete, and compound. Simple predicates are just the verb, complete predicates include the verb and its modifiers, and compound predicates have multiple verbs. The tutorial provides examples and exercises to help identify each type of predicate, enhancing understanding of sentence structure.

What is a predicate in a sentence?

• The subject of the sentence
