Yes and no.They refer to the same noun, but are not the same word.
A predicate nominative is a noun that is found in the predicate (the verb half of the sentence) that renames the subject. Example: "Allison is president of the senior class." 'Allison' is the subject;' is 'is the verb. 'President' is a noun found in the predicate which is re-naming Allison. President is the predicate nominative.
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.
Yes, a predicate noun and a predicate nominative are the same thing. They both refer to a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject of the sentence.
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.
Sure! "She is a doctor." In this sentence, "doctor" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "she". "He became the captain." In this sentence, "captain" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "he".
Yes, that is the job of a predicate nominative, to rename the subject after a linking verb.
A predicate nominative renames or identifies the subject, while a predicate adjective describes or modifies it. To determine if the subject complement is a predicate nominative, see if it can be replaced with "is" or "are" without changing the meaning of the sentence. If it can, it's likely a predicate nominative. If it can be replaced with another adjective, it's likely a predicate adjective.
No, a predicate nominative must be a subjective pronoun. The pronoun 'her' is an objective pronoun. A predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. Example: It was she who told me. (the pronoun 'she' is restating the subject 'it')
predicate nominative
The predicate states what the subject does, is doing, or has done in a sentence.
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 pronoun functioning as a predicate nominative is always a subject pronoun.It was she. (it = she)
Simple sentences are comprised of a subject and a predicate. The predicate states what the subject is, has, or does.
