A predicate nominative or a predicate adjectiverestates a noun following a linking verb or the object of a verb, telling something about the noun. The word 'tall' could be a predicate adjective or a predicate noun, depending on how it's used in a sentence. Examples:

Predicate nominative: The size I need is a tall. (the noun tall is renaming the noun size)

Predicate adjective: My brother is very tall. (the adjective tall is renaming the noun brother)

Yes, a predicate is the verb and all of the words related to that verb that follow the verb; there can be more than one predicate in a sentence. The words related the verb included in the predicate can be a noun or nouns. Examples:This restaurant was recommended by my sister. ('was recommended by my sister' is the complete predicate, 'sister' is a noun)The Browns live on this street. ('live on this street is the complete predicate, 'street' is a noun)

A predicate can include a noun or a pronoun.Examples:I love you. (the complete predicate is 'love you'; the simple predicate is the verb 'love')I made you some brownies. (the complete predicate is 'made you some brownies'; the simple predicate is the verb 'made'; the noun 'brownies is the direct object of the verb; the pronoun 'you' is the indirect object of the verb)
