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.
You use pronouns in the nominative case when they are the subject of a sentence or clause, such as "he," "she," "I," "we," "they," and "you." Nominative case pronouns are used to perform the action in a sentence or indicate who or what is doing the action.
The appropriate pronoun is 'he'. In the sentence the pronoun he, takes the place of the noun 'teacher' as the subject complement following the linking verb 'will be'. A pronoun functioning as a subject complement (predicate nominative) is always a nominative (subjective) form.
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')

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.
Yes it can. A subject complement follows a linking verb and modifies or refers to the subject. A subject complement may be a noun or a pronoun (predicate nominative) or an adjective (predicate adjective). Example subject complements:predicate nominative, noun: Jack is the winner.predicate nominative, pronoun: The winner is someone I know. The winner is you.predicate adjective: The winner was beautiful.
