Any noun can function as a nominative noun.
A noun in the nominative case is a noun that is:
- the subject of a sentence.
- the subject of a clause,
- a predicate nominative (also called a subject complement, a noun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject).
Examples:
- My neighbor has a nice garden. (subject of the sentence)
- The flowers that my neighbor gave me are from his garden. (subject of the relative clause)
- Mr. Jones is my neighbor. (predicate nominative, restates the subject noun)
