Our team has made another touchdown. What is the simple predicate in this sentence?

The simple predicate in the sentence "Our team has made another touchdown" is has made.

Here's why:

* Predicate: The part of a sentence that tells what the subject does or is.

* Simple Predicate: The verb (or verb phrase) that forms the core of the predicate.

In this case, the subject is "Our team" and the predicate is "has made another touchdown." The verb phrase "has made" is the simple predicate because it conveys the action of the subject.
