Predicate rap time

Are you ready?

Here, let's go!

A predicate is one of the two main parts of a sentence

The other being the subject

Which the predicate modifies

For the simple sentence John is yellow

John acts as the subject

And is yellow acts as the predicate

A subsequent description of the subject

Headed with a verb

In current linguistic semantics

A predicate is an expression

That can be true of something

Thus, the expressions "is yellow"

Or "is like broccoli"

Are true of those things

That are yellow or like broccoli respectively

This notion is closely related to the notion

Of a predicate in formal logic

Which includes more expressions

Than the covered one
