A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. Examples:Mary is my sister.Sam became adoctor.Thewinnerisyou.

The predicate nominative (also called a subject complement) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.Example: Mary is my sister.(Mary=sister; the noun 'sister' is the predicate nominative that renames the subject 'Mary')
A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun which follows a linking verb and describes or renames the subject. It is another way of naming the subject. Example sentence:Jane is my sister. (The verb 'is' is the linking verb; the object of the verb, 'sister' renames the subject 'Jane'.)
A linking verb followed by a predicate noun renames the subject, while a linking verb followed by a predicate adjective describes the subject. To determine which is being used, consider whether the word after the linking verb is naming the subject (noun) or describing it (adjective).
A predicate nominative does not "rename" a noun, but may alter its characterization, such as by expanding or contracting its normal significance. For example, with the simple predicate nominative in bold and the complete predicate nominative underlined, "Plessy v. Ferguson [a Supreme Court case] was a landmark decision of the late 19th century, because it established the legitimacy of 'separate but equal' state facilities for white and colored citizens." In this sentence, Plessy v. Ferguson is the name of the case and is not changed by the predicate nominative, but its importance, compared with the many other cases decided by the Supreme Court in the late 19th century, is shown by the predicate nominative. For another example, with the same typographic conventions as above, "John Adams was a common name in the early years of the United States of America under the Constitution, but one person with that name was distinctly uncommon, because he was President of the United States from March of 1797 through March of 1801.
The adjective clause is in bold: "He is the one for whom the message was intended.", used to describe the predicate nominative 'one'.
A linking verb connects the subject to a predicate adjective or predicate nominative (both are also known as subject complements). Subject complements provide more information about the subject. Linking verbs act as an equals sign (=).Subject + linking verb + predicate adjective: Leah is happy. (Leah = happy)Subject + linking verb + predicate nominative: Justin is a musician. (Justin = musician)
Predicate nominatives are nouns or pronouns that follow linking verbs and rename or re-identify the subject of a sentence. They help to provide more information about the subject and are essential in linking the subject to its description or identity.

Pronouns in nominative cases are used to identify the subject performing the action in a sentence. They replace nouns to avoid repetition and make sentences clearer and more concise. Common nominative pronouns include "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they."
