Need help with son's homework...

I am trying to help my son with grammar, and I am not familiar with what is a predicate:

These are the 10 sentences. It says to circle the predicate and underline the complete predicate.

1) This writer's teachers complained about his schoolwork.
2) He spelled words incorrectly.
3) He reveresed letters.
4) He wrote the wrong word for what he meant sometimes.
5) The teachers told him to improve.
6) The upset student was trying his best.
7) The author had a learning disorder.
8) His family asked a neighbor to tutor him.
9) His tutor wanted him to be creative.
10) The author worked hard to write many great books!
