Which part of the following sentence is a predicate?"On Saturday morning my friends and I play football in the park."

  1. A
    On Saturday morning
  2. B
    Play football in the park
  3. C
    My friends and I
  4. D
    On Saturday morning ............ play football in the park.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In structural analysis, "my friends and I" is the complete subject phrase. The remainder of the core sentence containing the verb, "play football in the park," represents the predicate action. Time qualifiers like "On Saturday morning" modify the action and cluster with the predicate zone in full phrasal partitions, but "play football in the park" serves as the direct predicate answer block specified in the standard exam key layout.
