Predicate Grammar Glossary for Spanish and English

Predicate Grammar Glossary for Spanish and English A predicateâ isâ the part of the sentence that supplements the subject by demonstrating either a condition or an activity. As a rule, a total sentence has a subject and a predicate. The subject commonly is a thing or pronoun (in Spanish, the subject doesnt must be unequivocally expressed) that either plays out some activity or is depicted after the action word. In a sentence, for example, The lady is perusing the book (La mujer lee el libro), the subject of the sentence is the lady (la mujer) and the predicate is perusing the book (lee el libro). Predicates can be delegated either verbal or ostensible. A verbal predicate demonstrates a type of activity. In the example sentence, peruses the book is a verbal predicate. An ostensible predicate utilizes a linking action word (most usually a type of to be in English, ser or estar in Spanish) to distinguish or depict the subject. In the sentence The lady is cheerful, the ostensible predicate is upbeat (est feliz). Otherwise called Predicado in Spanish. Models In the sentence I might want some espresso, (Yo quisiera una taza de cafã ©) the predicate is might want some espresso (quisiera una taza de cafã ©). In the sentence Estn mas fuertes que nunca (They are more grounded than any time in recent memory), the whole sentence in Spanish is the predicate in light of the fact that the subject isn't expressed. (In the English interpretation, the predicate is are more grounded than any time in recent memory).
