All sentences must have some form of predicate.
A predicate is a verb and all of the words that follow that are related to that verb.
A predicate can be just the verb, a simple predicate.
Examples:
How did you get here so fast? I ran. (the verb 'ran' is a simple predicate)
How did you get here so fast? I took the train from work. (the complete predicate is 'took the train from work'; the simple predicate is the verb 'took')
No. The predicate of the sentence is objective and, therefore, the correct pronoun would be 'me'.
No, in the sentence, "Where were you?", the pronoun "you" is not a predicate nominative.A predicate nominative (also called a subject complement) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verbthat restates or stands for the subject.The verb "were" in this sentence is not a linking verb. The pronoun "you" does not restate the word "where".An example of the pronoun "you" as a predicate nominative:"The winner is you." (winner = you).An example of the verb "were" as a linking verb:"Those birds were pigeons." (birds = pigeons)
The subject pronoun identifies what a sentence is about. It is the pronoun that performs the action in the sentence or is described by the predicate.
A nominative case (subjective) pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause and as a predicate nominative.
The predicate of the sentence is the part of a sentence that includes the verb and the words following it. The predicate pronoun is any pronoun that is part of the predicate (for personal pronouns, use the objective case). Examples:Direct object of the verb: John droveit like a pro.Indirect object of the verb: We gave her a party.Object of the preposition: Mary made a cake for me.Note that a subjective pronoun when it is the subject of a clause can be part of a predicate; for example:Mary brought a cake she made for the party.OBJECTIVEPERSONALPRONOUNSmeusyouhimheritthemREFLEXIVEPRONOUNSmyselfourselvesyourselfhimselfherselfthemselvesPOSSESSIVEPRONOUNSmineoursyourshishersitstheirs
How canthe pronoun we be a subject noun? Isn't we just a pronoun?
A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that renames the subject of a sentence, while a predicate adjective is an adjective that describes the subject of a sentence. Predicate nominatives typically follow a linking verb, such as "is," "was," or "become," while predicate adjectives modify the subject of the sentence directly.

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 difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun. A predicate noun is a noun.
