Yes and no.They refer to the same noun, but are not the same word.
A predicate nominative is a noun that is found in the predicate (the verb half of the sentence) that renames the subject. Example: "Allison is president of the senior class." 'Allison' is the subject;' is 'is the verb. 'President' is a noun found in the predicate which is re-naming Allison. President is the predicate nominative.
A predicate nominative is used with a linking verb and "renames" the subject by stating that the subject is the same as the predicate nominative. Here are some examples: Andrew is the director. My best friend had become my enemy.
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun. A predicate noun is a noun.
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.
Sure! "She is a doctor." In this sentence, "doctor" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "she". "He became the captain." In this sentence, "captain" is the predicate nominative as it renames the subject "he".
To determine if the subject complement is a predicate nominative or predicate adjective, you need to analyze the function it serves in the sentence. A predicate nominative renames or identifies the subject, while a predicate adjective describes or modifies the subject. Look at the verb in the sentence - if it is a linking verb (such as "is," "was," "seems"), the subject complement is likely a predicate nominative. If the verb is an action verb, the subject complement is likely a predicate adjective.
The predicate states what the subject does, is doing, or has done in a sentence.
Yes, that is the job of a predicate nominative, to rename the subject after a linking verb.
Yes, "war" can function as a predicate nominative in a sentence. A predicate nominative is a noun or noun phrase that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. For example, in the sentence "The conflict is a war," "war" serves as the predicate nominative, providing more information about the subject "the conflict."
No, a predicate nominative must be a subjective pronoun. The pronoun 'her' is an objective pronoun. A predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. Example: It was she who told me. (the pronoun 'she' is restating the subject 'it')
predicate nominativen. A noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and refers to the same person or thing as the subject of the verb.For example:The girl in the red dress is Sarah, our daughter.The phrase Sarah, our daughter, is the predicate nominative. It refers to the same person as the subject, girl.

A pronoun functioning as a predicate nominative is always a subject pronoun.It was she. (it = she)
