John is going to the marker.
John- S
is going- simple predicate
is going to the marker- complete predicate
to fins the predicate always ask "what"!
Abi C.
My bad... It's an adverbial prepositional phrase... You're right!

Yes, to the marker (guessing that should have been market) is a prepositional phrase that functions as an adverbial in the sentence, but Abi, you were right to begin with; it's still an element of the predicate, even while the verb phrase
is going is the predicate's sine qua non.
