Both the predicate nominative and the appositive renames or describes a word or words in a sentence. However, the predicate nominative appears, as the name suggests, in the predicate and it follows a 'to be' verb, or other linking verbs that help rename the subject in the sentence: Christmas is a favorite holiday for many. Is a favorite holiday is a phrase that uses the linking verb, is, to rename Christmas.
An appositive is a noun , noun phrase or pronoun that renames or identifies a noun in the sentence: Christmas, one of many holidays, brings a great deal of excitement to children all over the world. One of many holidays is the noun phrase that renames Christmas.
A predicate nominative is a noun that follows a linking verb. Example: Susan is a nurse. (nurse is the predicate nominative following the linking verb is)
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun in a sentence. It is usually placed right beside the noun it renames and is placed between commas. Example: Susan, a nurse, is celebrating her 15th anniversary with the hospital. (a nurse is the appositive)
A nominal clause functions as a noun.
A Relative clause functions as an adjective.
Technically, there is no appositive in the given sentence.The noun phrase a tossed one renames the direct object, 'salad', making the noun phrase an object complement.The difference between an appositive and an object complement is that an appositive can rename any noun in the sentence, and an object complement can only rename the direct object.
The passive voice applies to a verb and its clause; the compound nominal predicate is the verb and its qualifiers which may be in the active or passive voice.
There is no difference between being verbs and linking verbs.
yes it is polite unless your the one who did it then you should say your welcome.correct answerI think the questioner was probably thinking of the difference between "It is me" and "It is I." Strictly speaking, you should say "It is I" because the "I" is a predicate nominative, not a direct object.We should say It is I, and we must write it that way, at least in formal writing, but in informal speech, many people will say it is me.
A predicate adjective follows a linking verb. The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject, or the subject becomes the object. Some common linking verbs are seem, feel, and any form of be.Examples:I am sick.Bob feels sick.You seem sick.Barb got sick.In all the examples, sick is the predicate adjective.
A predicate noun and predicate nominative are the same thing. They both refer to a noun or pronoun that comes after a linking verb in a sentence and renames or identifies the subject of the sentence.
An object of the preposition is a noun that ends the prepositional phrase as in the following sentence: She looked at the nurse. The prepositional phrase is "at the nurse." The preposition is "at" and the objective if the preposition is "nurse." A predicate nominative follows a linking verb and renames the subject as in the following sentence: My sister is a nurse. The linking verb is "is" and the predicate nominative is "nurse" which renames the subject "sister."
The Nominative is the subject, The accusative is the object
servus is nominative singular and servum is nominative plural
the difference is that a predicate is at the end of the sentence, and the object is the beginning of the sentence.
The subject is what acts upon the predicate.
the cases of pronoun are nomitative angglkljg
I have difficulty deciphering the difference especially whenever I'm given sentences where in a noun in the sentence looks like an appositive but it also looks like an objective complement. I would really appreciate it if you guys could show me sentence examples which could really spell the difference between the two.
Difference between Propositonal and Predicate logic
Both rename or add more information to describe a noun, however, the diiference is that an appositive can rename ANY noun in the sentence, and an object complement can only rename the OBJECT
