Answer 1

http://www.answers.com/topic/predicate
See the first noun definition.

Let me know what you think.

Answer 2

It sounds to me like it has more to do with the VERB - therefore the ANSWER would be FALSE.

Answer 3

Right!

Answer 4

Thank you -

Found a definition:

the simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase in the sentence.

I told you I would be back - just gearing up for the real GRAMMAR NIGHTMARE ahead of me in the months to come on Medical Transcription.

Thanks again, Leslie

Answer 5

Yes. Your definition is far better (easier to understand) than that of grammarians!

Think of a sentence like this ~~> Each clause has two parts: the subject and all that goes with it, and the verb and all that goes with it.

A sentence can fit any of these patterns (and a few variations):

1 independent clause = simple sentence
2 independent clauses (joined by a comma and coordinating conjunction -- or by a semicolon) = compound sentence
1 independent and 1 dependent clause = complex sentence
2 independent clauses (joined...) plus 1 dependent clause = complex sentence
