The simple predicate is more commonly known as the verb.
Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. In the following sentences, the subject is in brackets and the predicate is highlighted:
(The dog) barks.
(The dog) chased the cat around the garden.
(The board) discussed the upcoming merger.
A predicate has at its centre a simple predicate, which is always the verb or verbs that link up with the subject. In the above examples, the simple predicates are "barks" "chased" and "discussed".

What is Sometimes called the simple predicative?
First, the "predicate" is just another name for the verb, the word that shows the action in a sentence. Every sentence needs a subject (the person, place or thing doing the action) and a predicate (the action word that tells what the subject has done). The simple predicate is usually the main verb in a sentence. For example: Jerry ran to catch the bus. The subject is Jerry. The word that tells what he did is "ran" and that is the simple predicate.

In the before sentence, is is the simple predicate. "is the word that shows what is happening" is the whole predicate. A verb will not always be the simple predicate, and simple predicates will not always be 1 word.
