A predicate adjective is a type of adjective that describes the subject of a linking verb that it follows. It follows the linking verb in the sentence, and then refers back to it.
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) is an adjective that is the direct object of a linking verb which renames the subject. Examples:This cake is good.Mary was proud of her accomplishment.Jack's feet got wet.
No, it is not. True is an adjective (predicate adjective) because it follows a linking verb (is). The adjective "true" modifies the subject, which is "answer."
A predicate adjective is a type of adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence. It can often be recognized by its position after the verb and its role in describing the subject. Additionally, it may be possible to replace the adjective with another word that conveys a similar meaning without affecting the sentence's structure or meaning.
Pounds can be either a noun or a verb. The answer to your question is that it depends upon how it is used.
A subject follows a linking or action verb. A predicate noun or predicate adjective can follow a linking verb. An indirect object is the noun that can follow an action verb.
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.Example subject-linking verb-predicate adjective: You are funny.
A predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.A predicate adjective is the adjective following a linking verb which modifies (describes) the subject of the sentence.The word 'kind' is both a noun and an adjective and will function as either a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective. Examples:This brand is the kind that mom likes. (the noun 'kind' restates the subject noun 'brand')My neighbor was so kind during my recuperation. (the adjective 'kind' describes the subject noun 'neighbor')
Grateful can be a predicate adjective. Example: I am grateful. A predicate adjective follows a linking verb and describes the subject. "Am" is the linking verb, "grateful" is the predicate adjective, and "I" is the subject.
No, a predicate does not always contain a noun or a pronoun.A predicate is the part of the sentences that is not the subject or its modifiers. A predicate is the verb and the words that follow the verb that are related to that verb. A predicate may be just a verb.Examples sentences containing a predicate with no nouns or pronouns:Mary is driving. (the predicate is a verb only)She will come soon. (soon is an adverbmodifying the verb will come)Today is hot. (hot is an adjective, a predicate adjective).
A linking verb must be present to have a predicate adjective or predicate noun. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which can be a noun or an adjective that renames or describes the subject. Examples of linking verbs include "be," "become," "appear," "seem," and "feel."
They answer the questions "How" or "what" :)
The verb that joins a subject to a predicate noun or a predicate adjective is called a linking verb.A linking verb is a verb that acts as an equal sign, the subject is or becomes the object.A predicate noun or a predicate adjective is a subject complement.Example subject complements:Mary is my sister. (Mary = sister, predicate noun)Mary's feet got wet. (feet = wet, predicate adjective)
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).
No. A linking verb is followed by a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective. Examples: Barbara is a nurse. (nurse is the predicate nominative) Barbara is happy. (happy is the predicate adjective)
The verb 'feels' is a linking verb (blanket = scratchy); and the word scratchy is a predicate adjective.
No, it is a verb.
