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'.)
The verb 'can' is an action verb, a word for an act. The verb 'can' is most often an auxiliary (helper) verb. Examples:John can bring the donuts. I can make the coffee. We can have a party.The verb 'can' is not a linking verb. The object of a linking verb must rename the subject (Jane is my sister.) or be a form of the subject (Jane was chosen the winner.) The verb 'can' may be an auxiliary to a linking verb (You can be a winner.)
The predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. Examples:Jane is my sister. (Jane = sister)Jane became a physical therapist. (Jane -> physical therapist)

I will be accused of being picky, picky, picky. What describes who or what a sentence is about is the sentence. Take the sentence "Jane bought dinner." What is the sentence about? It could be about Jane. You know Jane. She NEVER picks up the tab. But guess what happened Saturday? The sentence could be about buying. Jane preferes to cook, and she's good at it. But when Fred offered to cook dinner, Jane stepped in and bought dinner instead. Or the sentence could be about... you know.You may be asking about the subject of a sentence. Yes, usually the subject of something like a book is what the book is about. But subject as used here is a technical term, and not necessarily the substance of a sentence. In the sentence above Jane is the subject. Jane is the one who performs the action of the predicate.
Jane would be the simple subject.
