Sentence components "Subject, Predicate, Object, Definitive Adverbial Supplement Table", the part of speech of the word includes "verb, (gerund), noun, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition", which are different.

The predicate refers to the action, so it must be a verb, and the object is the recipient of the action. , similar to the subject, must be a noun or noun phrase.

Generally speaking, subject, predicate and object can form a complete sentence. But when used for imperatives or commands, the predicate can be complete and the subject can be omitted, like "Give me a pencil." Because I am talking to you, there is no need to say "You give me a pencil." .

Predicates only modify the subject, so we should pay attention to the difference between them and complements.
