A predicate is everything that is not the subject. The verb is in the predicate.

Bob knows who broke the window.

BOB IS THE SUBJECT

KNOWS IS THE VERB

PREDICATE: KNOWS WHO BROKE THE WINDOW

RELATIVE PRONOUN: WHO (introduces the noun clause)

The VERB in the NOUN CLAUSE is broke

Predicate Nominative: Window

ANSWER TO NUMBER 1! The noun clause is: WHO BROKE THE WINDOW!!!!!!!

The NOUN CLAUSE is being used as a direct object. (It receives the action of the verb.)
