A predicate nominative or a predicate adjectiverestates a noun following a linking verb or the object of a verb, telling something about the noun. The word 'tall' could be a predicate adjective or a predicate noun, depending on how it's used in a sentence. Examples:Predicate nominative: The size I need is a tall. (the noun tall is renaming the noun size)Predicate adjective: My brother is very tall. (the adjective tall is renaming the noun brother)

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.
A predicate noun and a predicate adjective are both called a subject complement.The predicate noun (also called a predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.The predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) is the adjective following a linking verb which modifies (describes) the subject of the sentence.Examples:Mary is my sister. (the predicate noun 'sister' restates the subject 'Mary')Mary's feet got wet. (the predicate adjective 'wet' describes the subject 'feet')
The verb that joins a subject to a predicate noun or a predicate adjective is called a linking verb.A linking verb is a verb that acts as an equal sign, the subject is or becomes the object.A predicate noun or a predicate adjective is a subject complement.Example subject complements:Mary is my sister. (Mary = sister, predicate noun)Mary's feet got wet. (feet = wet, predicate adjective)
