What does predicate mean in Chinese? Some people say it is a word that modifies the subject. Others say it is made up of verbs. If it is the first kind, what is the subject-predicate predicate in the picture? In Chinese grammar, its function is to show what the subject looks like, what nature it is, what state it is in, and so on. Used to state the subject, commonly used verbs, verb phrases, adjectives, adjective phrases, nouns and noun phrases, and subject-predicate phrases act as predicates. In English, verbs are mainly divided into two categories according to their functions, one is predicate verbs and the other is non-predicate verbs.

For example:

They are rehearsing the program. (preview, verb as predicate)

Fish are swimming in the river. (swimming, verb as predicate)
