Does the sentence Erica and Eric are the same height and in the same grade contain a predicate adjective?
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, but it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister) or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).In the sample sentence, the verb 'are' is the linking verb with a compound object. The object 'height' is a noun and in the prepositional phrase 'in the same grade', also the object of the verb, the object 'grade' is also a noun.So, the objects of the linking verb are nouns, not predicate adjectives. You could mistake the adjectives 'same' as the predicate adjectives, but they are not the objects of the verb, they are describing the objects.
Can you give me an example of a complete subject and a complete predicate in the same sentence?
It is impossible to form a sentence without a complete subject and a complete predicate. Those are the two required constituent parts of any sentence. The subject is the simple subject and any of its associated parts, such as adjectives, and the predicate is the verb and any of its associated parts, such as adverbs and predicate objects. The shortest possible sentence in the English language is, "I am." The subject is "I" and the predicate is "am."

What two things do you have to remember when using adjectives in french?
Gender and number agreement are important to remember when using adjectives in French. Adjectives must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the noun they are describing.
Is a predicate noun the same as a predicate nominative?
Not exactly. A predicate nominative (the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates the subject of the sentence) can be a subject complement; but a subject complement can also be a predicate adjective (the adjective following a linking verb which describes the subject of the sentence).In other words, a subject complement can be a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective.
