Question

Read the sentence. Although meteorologists work hard to predict hurricanes’ paths, hurricanes sometimes veer off course. Which of the words or groups of words is the simple predicate? veer predict hurricanes’ paths predict work hard

Answer 1

Work hard
 is the simple predicate in this sentence

Answer 2

Answer:

Predict is the simple predicate.

Explanation:

Example: We finished our exams(finished is the simple predicate).

A predicate of the sentence is the part that contains the action, for example what action did we do to our exams? We finished them. In the same way, what action do meteorologists do to hurricane paths? They predict them.

Many people are saying that "predict hurricane paths" is the correct answer, but it's not a simple predicate, it's a complete predicate.
