What is the meaning of a simple predicate?

In grammar, a simple predicate is a part of a sentence that contains the main verb of the sentence, along with any modifiers or complements that are necessary to complete the meaning of the verb. It tells us what the subject is doing, being, or experiencing. Here are some examples of simple predicates:

1. Runs quickly

2. Smiles radiantly

3. Cooks delicious meals

4. Is a teacher

5. Seems tired

6. Appears confident

7. Becomes a doctor

8. Tastes sweet

9. Feels soft

10. Grows rapidly

In each of these examples, the main verb is in bold, and any modifiers or complements are in regular text. The simple predicate contains all the essential information about what the subject is doing or experiencing.
