Under Verb replace predicate with main verb. - The definition of a MAIN VERB which has been updated in the 2014 Judges Manual is as follows:
MAIN VERB – This is the verb in a clause that identifies the action or state of being of the subject of the clause.
Note: if an infinitive clause is written, the verb is considered an infinitive not a main verb. Ex.

The boy cried.
The girl is laughing.
The lady became a doctor.
