Are we to include it in the Predicate term or in the Subject term?
It rains," the rudiment of subject and predicate may be detected.
That the Predicate term may be regarded as a class in or from which the Subject is included or excluded.
We have only to bear in mind that however the predicate may be qualified in the premisses, the same qualification must be transferred to the conclusion.
Even if we add the grammatical object of Quoth to the analysis, the Predicate term is still a general name.
This Converse is obtained by substituting for thepredicate term its Contrapositive or Contradictory, not-P, making the consequent change of Quality, and simply converting.
That is to say, every proposition may be resolved into a form in which the predicate is a general name.
General names are predicable of individuals because they possess certain attributes: to predicate the possession of those attributes is the same thing as to predicate the general name.
Of course we can predicate attributes of universal substances, and use these as logical subjects, as when we say "Man is mortal".
Reverting now to real identity: whatever we can predicate affirmatively about a being considered as one, and as subject of a judgment, we regard as really identical with that being.
Such, for instance, are the relations of genus to species, of predicate to subject, the relations described in Logic as the praedicabilia.
When we predicate "being" of its modes the predication is not merely equivocal.
Hence we do not predicate "being" univocally of its various modes.
Adverbial enlargements of Predicate (though an Ablative Absolute must generally stand first).
Some intransitive verbs require a predicate noun or pronoun in the nominative case, or an adjective, to complete their meaning.
If it has one independent part and one or more dependent parts, each of which contains a subject and a predicate of its own, the sentence is complex.
Change the following sentences so that one action is denoted by the predicate of each: 1.

Middle Term is predicateof both premises; so that the minor premise may need no alteration, and to convert the major premise may suffice.
If one premise be negative, the two premises together can distribute only two terms, the subject of the universal and the predicate of the negative (which may be the same premise).
If one premise be negative, its predicate is distributed by position: the other terms remaining undistributed.
Propositions in which the predicate means a part (or the whole) of what the subject means, as Horses are animals, Man is a rational animal.
Or the middle term may be predicate of both premises, as in the second of the above examples; and this is called the Second Figure.
On the other hand, every Affirmative Proposition is regarded as having an undistributed predicate; that is to say, its predicate is not affirmed exclusively of the subject.
The parallelism of the two premises, with the middle term as predicate in both, brings out very forcibly the necessary difference between the major and minor terms that is involved in their opposite relations to the middle term.
The propositions predicate causation: A resisting medium in space is a condition of the earth's falling into the sun; A Corn Law is a condition of the rise of rents, and of the fall of railway profits.
The feast of the Conception, with the predicate “immaculate” dropped, gradually came to be universally observed.
The latter, on the contrary, goes beyond the concept of the subject and adds a predicate which had not been thought therein.
It is a contradiction, to be sure, to say that God is not almighty, just as it is a contradiction to deny that a triangle has three angles: if posit the concept I must not remove the predicate which necessarily belongs to it.
When I turn my glance away from the rose its redness vanishes, since this predicate belongs to it only in so far and so long as it acts in the light on my visual apparatus.
The same thing is denoted by the predicate eternal, which, according to the eighth definition, denotes "existence itself, in so far as it is conceived to follow necessarily from the mere definition of the eternal thing.
The laws to which an action must conform in order to deserve the predicate "good" are three in number (II.

An attribute complement, as explained in Chapter I, is a word used in thepredicate explaining or stating something about the subject.
In this form it asserts that if a judgment is to express knowledge it must have a ground; and it is just because it has a ground that it has ascribed to it the predicate true.
But if now one denies these two predicates, not together, but separately, it appears as if the contradictory opposite of the predicate which in each case is denied were proved of the subject of the judgment.
The predicate life belongs only to what is organised.
Every proof is the exhibition of the ground of a judgment which has been expressed, and of which, just because that ground is exhibited, we predicate truth.

It is easy to see that judgements of taste are synthetical, because they go beyond the concept and even beyond the intuition of the Object, and add to that intuition aspredicate something that is not a cognition, viz.
Hence also all judgements of taste are singular judgements, because they do not combine their predicate of satisfaction with a concept, but with a given individual empirical representation.
But the judgement of taste, independently of concepts, determines the Object in respect of satisfaction and of the predicate of beauty.
But then this is not a judgement of taste but a logical judgement, which takes the relation of an Object to taste as the predicate of things of a certain species.
