A verb is the action Word or the being Word in a sentence. A verb is a simple predicate.
A predicate is the verb and all of the Words that follow that are related to that verb.

Examples:
- Who has the tickets? (simple predicate 'has', complete predicate 'has the tickets')
- Jack does. (simple predicate only)
- Jack, pass out the tickets and keep one for yourself. (two simple predicates 'pass' and 'keep'; two complete predicates 'pass out the tickets' and 'keep one for yourself')
- Does everyone have their ticket? (simple predicate 'have'; complete predicate 'have their ticket)
- Yes, we do. (simple predicate only)
