  3. Predicate of a sentence • Two parts of a sentence: • Subject and Predicate • The predicate INCLUDES A VERB and describes the subject • *Follows a linking verb*

  4. Examples: • They were absent from school. • What were they? • The Rose smells fresh. • How did it smell?

  5. Predicate Nominatives (Nouns) • A predicate nominative or predicate noun completes a linking verb and renames the subject. • *Predicate nominatives complete only linking verbs.* • 1. An honest man should have been the leader of the country. •  2. Curt's favorite toy is his big truck.  • 3. Students' favorite food must be pizza.
