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')

Do you use I in the predicate part of the sentence?
No. The predicate of the sentence is objective and, therefore, the correct pronoun would be 'me'.
Are the sentence where were you are pronoun predicate nominative?
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)
What pronoun Identifies what a sentence is about?
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.
