What is a predicate? Predicate Types
The predicate is what provides information about the subject. It answers various questions: What does the subject do? (Verbal Action): This refers to the action that the subject performs in a sentence. It is the central element of a predicate and often contains a verb.
The Participle-Non-Finite form of the Verb
The participle is a non-finite verb form that possesses properties of both verbs and adjectives (and sometimes adverbs). It can be used to create verb phrases, participial phrases, and adjectival phrases. Participles, as verb forms that function as adjectives, can be used to modify or describe nouns, effectively turning them into attributes. When a participle is used to modify a noun, it acts like an adjective, providing additional information about the noun.
