Explanation:

• For the first part (sentence 3):
• A simple predicate is the main verb in the predicate. In "My niece Claire is learning to figure skate", the main verb is "is learning".
• A complete predicate includes the verb and all the words that modify it. Here, "is learning to figure skate" is the complete predicate.
• For the second part (sentence 4):
• An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that does not refer to a specific person, thing, or amount. In "We heard something outside the window late last night", "something" is the indefinite pronoun.
• For the third part (sentence 5):
• An interrogative sentence asks a question. "Do you know how your parents first met?" is asking a question, so it is an interrogative sentence.

Answer:

• 3. Simple predicate: is learning; Complete predicate: is learning to figure skate
• 4. Circle "something"
• 5. Interrogative
