What are the parts of a predicate sentence called?

The parts of a predicate sentence are called:

* Verb: This is the action word or state of being that describes what the subject is doing or being.

* Complements: These are words or phrases that complete the meaning of the verb. There are different types of complements, including:

* Direct Objects: Receive the action of the verb (e.g., "She ate an apple.")

* Indirect Objects: Tell to whom or for whom the action is done (e.g., "He gave her a flower.")

* Object Complements: Rename or describe the direct object (e.g., "They elected him president.")

* Subject Complements: Describe or rename the subject (e.g., "She is a doctor." or "He became famous.")

Example:

* Sentence: The dog chased the ball.

* Subject: The dog

* Predicate: chased the ball.

* Verb: chased

* Direct Object: the ball

Important Note: Not all sentences have all these parts. Some sentences may only have a subject and a verb.
