The predicate can be either verbal or nominal. Both that, and another, in turn, happens simple and compound. Separately stands out a complex predicate, consisting of three or more members.
The main ways of expressing the predicate are the use of various forms of the verb. This does not apply to the nominal predicate, to the nominal part of which the verb conjunction may not be added.
A simple verb predicate is divided into two large groups. These are likened to formally subject and unapproved. In addition, a predicate of this type, having a complicated form, forms another special group.
That simple verb predicate, which is likened to a formally subject, is expressed by the forms of the verb of any person, tense and mood. For instance:
1) a verb in the form of an indicative mood: Winter wind makes you melancholy.
2) A verb in the form of an imperative imperative: Let thunder strike more strongly.
3) A verb in the form of the subjunctive: You would rest, grandmother.
The attitude to the message, to reality, the will of the one who speaks, is expressed with the help of modal particles, which adjoin very closely to the predicate. For example: Let's be silent together, reflect. The forest does not rustle, foliage does not crumble.
That simple verb predicate that is not formally likened to the subject is expressed by the following forms of the verb:
1) the interjection form of this part of speech, which has the meaning of an action that occurs instantly: The child jumps to the other side;
2) an infinitive that has the meaning of the active beginning of the action: And the friends who meet well kiss, well hug;
3) the verb "is", used with the meaning of "is": And we have paints, and there are brushes.
4) the form of imperative:
a) meaningful wishes, which concerns the third person: Pass us, the wrath of the tyrant, pass us by, his love;
b) with the meaning of obligation: Here you are naughty, and the teacher is responsible for you;
c) with the meaning of the concession: Be he the most intelligent, and must observe the rules;
d) with the meaning of the condition: If he had appeared earlier, it would still be possible to change something;
5) the form of the verb, which is homonymous with the form of mood of the imperative and has the meaning of arbitrariness or unexpectedness of the action taken: The truck, which exceeded the permissible speed, drove into this tree.
A simple verb predicate, as mentioned above, can also have complicated forms. This is a combination of a verb with particles or a combination of two verbs. These include:
1. The combination of any form of the verb "take" and the form of another verb using conjugations of "yes and", "and", "yes" to denote an unexpected action caused by the whim of the one in question in the sentence.
2. The connection in the same form of two verbs, the first of which indicates a specific action, and the second - its purpose.
3. The combination of two verbs having the same root, and the use of a “not” particle between them with the meaning of impossibility.
4. The connection of two cognates of the same root, one of which has a personal form, and the second - the infinitive form. The negative meaning of the predicate is enhanced by the use of the particle "not" in front of the personal form of the verb.
5. The connection in order to indicate the intensity of the action, the turn of "just doing that" with another verb in the same form.
6. The use of the same predicate twice to indicate the duration of the action.
7. The use of the same predicate twice with the amplifying particle “in such a way” as to denote an action that has been fully realized.
8. The combination of particles “know” or “know yourself” with a verb in order to indicate an action that is performed in spite of obstacles.
Also, a simple predicate can be expressed in phraseological combinations with different degrees of soldered components.
