grammarin traditional grammar, a predicate is one of the two main parts of a sentence (the other being the subject, which the predicate modifies). the predicate must contain a verb and can contain objects or phrases governed by the verb. the predicate provides information about the subject, such as what the subject is doing or what the subject is like. the relation between a subject and its predicate is sometimes called a nexus. a predicate nominal is a noun phrase that functions as the main predicate of a sentence, such as george iii is the king of england, the king of england being the predicate nominal. the subject and predicate nominal must be connected by a linking verb, also called a copula. a predicate adjective is an adjective that functions as a predicate, such as jenny is attractive, attractive being the predicate. the subject and predicate adjective must be connected by a linking verb, also called copula.谓语需用单数的几种情形1） 代词each和由every, some, no,
