If you're asking if subjective predicate and linking verb is the same, they're not. A subjective predicate is a noun that talks about the subject, as in:
My father is my inspiration in all my endeavors.
A linking verb links the subject to the predicate, as in:
She is pretty.
She is the subject, while pretty is the predicate.

A predicate adjective modifies the subject, to which it is connected by a linking verb.A noun used in the same way is called a predicate nominative.A subject
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun. A predicate noun is a noun.
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.
The difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
The predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. For example:Mary is my sister. (Mary = sister)Mary was elected class president. (Mary = president)The winner is you. (winner = you)I am the manager. (I = manager)You and I are friends. (You and I = friends)Amy was our teacher. (Amy = teacher)Harold is a baseball star. (Harold = Baseball star)It is I. (it = I)A pronoun functioning as a PREDICATE NOMINATIVE is always in the NOMINATIVE CASE.
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.
A predicate noun or nominative is a noun (or pronoun) that occurs after a linking verb and means the same as the subject. Marilyn was her best friend in college. (friend: predicate noun) Proof: Her best friend was Marilyn. Mr. Harrison is Charlie's tennis coach. (coach: predicate noun)
predicate nominativen. A noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and refers to the same person or thing as the subject of the verb.For example:The girl in the red dress is Sarah, our daughter.The phrase Sarah, our daughter, is the predicate nominative. It refers to the same person as the subject, girl.
A predicate nominative is used with a linking verb and "renames" the subject by stating that the subject is the same as the predicate nominative. Here are some examples: Andrew is the director. My best friend had become my enemy.
It is the same thing as a "predicate adjective." It is an adjective that follows a linking verb and refers to the subject of the sentence.Examples:The boy is tall.The man seemed tired.
No, the pronouns in the sentence are:My, a possessive adjective, used to describe the subject noun 'sister'.her, a personal pronoun, object of the preposition 'to'.A predicate nominative (a type of subject complement) is a noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.A pronoun that serves as predicate nominatives are normally in the subjective (or nominative) case.Example: My sister who gave the record is she.The subjective pronoun 'she' is the predicate nominative that restates the subject noun 'sister'.The noun 'sister' and the pronoun 'her' are the same person.In the example sentence, "My sister gave the record to her.", the noun sister and the pronoun 'her' are two different people.
