Can you help me with my homework please?

The simple predicate is the verb that tells us what the subject is about. The predicate is the clause (which the verb is in) that tells a clearer picture than the simple predicate of what the subject is doing/about.
Example - "Came to New York City" would be the full predicate and "Came" would be the simple predicate
Sorry if it doesn't make much sense lol
Feel free to comment with other questions about this subject or another!
