Prädikat classification

Prädikat classification is a system used in German grammar to categorize different types of predicates—that is, the part of a sentence that provides information about the subject, such as what it does or its state. It helps identify whether the predicate is a verb that describes an action, a state, or a link between the subject and complement. This classification clarifies how sentences are constructed and how multiple verbs or verb forms function together, making it easier to analyze sentence structure accurately in German language studies.
