Definition in this example.
The drunk driver who used to drink at the bar in town untill he lost his driving licence.
When a defintion of a clause says must contain predicate? Does it mean any predicate in the sentence or what I'd call the main verb doing the predicate. So in this case 'the subject lost his drivers licence'.
As opposed to the relative 'who used to drink at the bar' a predicate within the sentence but not the main idea.
his knuckles scraping along the wall untill they could scrape no more (predicate 'scraping along the wall and scrape no more') (subject 'his)
