A Simple Predicate. It does not include any verb modifiers. A simple predicate is the verb or the verb phrase that the subject "does" in the sentence.
This may be used as an introductory quiz or as a check-up to see where students are in their learning of subjects and predicates. Subject: compound (you and your brother). To identify the predicate just look for an action that is taking place in the sentence.
You will need to decide if the phrase describes the subject or the predicate.
Hint: Ask yourself, "The subject did what?" It can help if you find the subject first.
Define compound predicate: the definition of compound predicate is a predicate that has two or more verbs or verb phrases. At the heart of every predicate is a verb, and finding that is a good starting point for identifying the predicate. The simple predicate is the complete verb within the complete predicate.
