Question

is the predicate of this sentance grew?

Trade flourished and cities grew rapidley?

Answer 1

"Grew" is part of the simple predicate because it's a verb. The other part of the simple predicate is "flourished."

The complete predicate is "flourished" and "grew rapidly.:

Answer 2

This is a compound sentence. The first part is " Trade flourished"; the second part is
"cities grew rapidly."

Grew rapidly is the predicate of the second part.... What do you think the predicate is of the first part?

Answer 3

would'nt that be the simple predicate and not just the predicate?

Answer 4

In the first part of the sentence, "flourished" is both the simple predicate and the complete predicate.

Answer 5

I'm confused the directions say to just underline the predicate only.So is it flourshied and grew?

Answer 6

If you've only learned about simple predicates (verbs), then you'd underline "flourished" "grew".

Answer 7

And just are instead are Canadian-born?

Answer 8

Yes. "Are" is the verb -- so it's the simple predicate in that sentence.
