Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at presenting the types of predicates specificity in both English and Romanian. In English, a predicate consists of a verb in a personal mood either expressed or implied. The predicate classification is made according to the criterion of content and to that of structure. There are verbal predicates, nominal predicates and mixed types of predicates. In Romanian, there are verbal predicates and nominal predicates as well, and there are distinct types of predicates – adverbial and interjectional.
