Predicate rap time! Are you ready? Here, let's go!
A predicate is one of the two main parts Of a sentence, the other being the subject, Which the predicate modifies
For the simple sentence "john is yellow", "john" acts as the subject And "is yellow" acts as the predicate A subsequent description of the subject, headed with the verb!
In current linguistic semantics A predicate is an expression That can be true of something Thus the expression "is yellow" or "like broccoli" Are true of those things That are yellow, or like broccoli, respectively
This notion is closely related to the notion of a predicate in formal logic Which includes more expressions than the former one
