What is the simple predicate in a sentence?

the complete thought
the main verb
the subject's action
the descriptive part

The correct answer is: the main verb

The correct choice identifies the simple predicate as the main verb in a sentence. The simple predicate represents the action or state of being that relates to the subject and is essential for forming a complete thought. It expresses what the subject is doing or what is being said about the subject. In this context, the simple predicate is stripped down to just the verb itself, without any modifiers or additional information. Understanding that the main verb is the core component of the predicate helps clarify how sentences convey meaning and structure. Analyzing it this way shows that the simple predicate is a key grammatical element in understanding sentence construction.
