  3. I can identify predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. • So far, we have talked about objects that come after action verbs—direct and indirect objects. • Today, we are learning what comes after linking verbs—predicate nouns and predicate adjectives.

  4. I can identify predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. The Subject Complement • The subject complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective that comes after a linking verb and identify or describe the subject. • There are two kinds: Predicate Nouns and Predicate Adjectives.

  5. I can identify predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. Remember Linking Verbs? • The following are sometimes linking verbs • Appear Feel • Look Seem • Sound Taste • Become Grow • Remain Smell • Stay Turn • The most common linking verb is “to be” • I am was • You are were • He is was • We are were • They are were • Also: be, being, been

  6. I can identify predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. Predicate Nouns • A predicate noun follows a linking verb; it gives information about or identifies the subject of the sentence. • Remember that linking verbs act like equals signs—The subject = predicate noun.

  10. I can identify predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. Things to know • A predicate noun is always a noun. • A predicate noun will never come inside a prepositional phrase. • Unless it is a question, the predicate noun will always come after the linking verb—Subject-Linking Verb-Predicate Noun. • Predicate nouns always use subject pronouns (not object pronouns)—I, he, she, we, they, who.

  13. I can identify predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. Predicate Adjective • A predicate adjective follows a linking verb; it gives information about the subject of the sentence. • A predicate adjective is similar to a predicate noun in that it always comes after a linking verb. • The predicate adjective is always an adjective. • The PA describes/modifies the subject. • You will not have a predicate noun and a predicate adjective next to each other!
