Decide on the predicate verb you want to use. For example, you decide to use the verb "eat."
Give your predicate verb a subject. In a simple sentence, the subject come first. For example, you decide to use "ocelot" as your subject. You write, "The ocelot."
Give your predicate verb a voice, active or passive. The active voice means the subject of your sentence is performing the action; passive means the subject of your sentence is receiving the action. For example, you decide to use the active voice of the verb "eat."
Give your predicate verb a tense. The tense can be past, present or future. If the tense is past, the action has already taken place. If the tense is present, the action of the sentence is taking place right now. If the tense is future, the action of the verb will take place at a time to come. For example, you decide to use the present tense of the verb "eat."
Write your predicate verb after the subject of your sentence. Use the voice and tense you have decided to use. For example, you write, "The ocelot eats."
Add a direct object after your predicate verb if you want your reader to know what the predicate verb affects or acts on. For example, you add the noun "waffles" as a direct object after your predicate verb: "The ocelot eats waffles."
