Question

Can you find the simple predicate in each sentence?

A.) My little brother broke his finger.
B.) His Uncle Bob asked for directions.
C.) Those soldiers carried Oreos.
D.) Our babysitter will arrive late.

Answer 1

The simple predicates in the sentences provided are 'broke' for sentence A, 'asked' for sentence B, 'carried' for sentence C, and 'will arrive' for sentence D. These are the main verbs that show the action of the subject in each sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In each of the sentences provided by the student, the simple predicate is the main verb that tells what the subject does. Here are the simple predicates for each sentence:

• A.) broke
• B.) asked
• C.) carried
• D.) will arrive

The action of the subject in each sentence is the simple predicate, which indicates what is being predicated and how it is being predicated without additional details or modifiers.
