To determine whether "play" is part of a compound subject, part of a compound verb phrase, or part of a simple predicate in the given sentence, we need to understand the different components and their functions.
A compound subject is when there are two or more subjects that share the same verb. In this sentence, there is only one subject, "friend Jorge," so "play" is not part of a compound subject.
A compound verb phrase is when there are two or more verbs that work together to express the action in a sentence. In this case, "can play" is indeed a compound verb phrase because it consists of two verbs: "can" and "play." However, the question is specifically asking about whether "play" is part of a compound subject, compound verb phrase, or simple predicate. So, it is not a correct answer.
A simple predicate is the main verb in a sentence or clause that conveys the action or state of being. In this sentence, the main verb is "can play," where "play" serves as the simple predicate, expressing the action of Jorge's ability. Therefore, the correct answer is part of a simple predicate.
So, in conclusion, "play" is part of a simple predicate in the given sentence.
