Question

Identify the choices that best describes the underlined word

Answer 1

Hello!

In the sentence: If they have the time and energy, Dina and Maggie will prune and water the shrubs, water is best described as a compound predicate.

To understand why, we need to understand what a predicate is.

Predicate can best be understood as part of a sentence that talks about the subject, and contains a verb.

In this particular sentence, water is a verb because it is an action of watering.
