Yes, a noun, pronoun, or an adjective will follow 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, 'Mary is my sister' (Mary=sister), sister is a noun;
- 'The winner is you.' (winner=you), you is a pronoun.
- the subject becomes the object, "Mary's feet got wet." (feet->wet), wet is an adjective.
