A predicate noun is just a renaming of the subject, always found after a linking verb (a linking verb can be replaced by the word is, are, or were and still let the sentence make sense). Therefore, it is relatively simple to do. You can write, "Sue is a lawyer" and lawyer will be the predicate noun, since it is renaming Sue.
