How can you know if if the subject complement is a predicate nominative or predicate adjective?
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.
Can a noun follow a linking or action verb?
A noun can follow both a linking verb and an action verb. When it follows a linking verb, it's called a predicate nominative. Ex: Henry is a teacher. When a noun follows an action verb, it's called a direct object. Ex: Kevin threw the ball.
What are some examples of the nominative functions of nouns?
Nouns in the nominative case can act as subjects of sentences, naming the doer of the action. For example, in the sentence "The cat chased the mouse," "cat" is the nominative noun as the subject of the sentence. Nouns can also serve as predicate nominatives, renaming the subject after a linking verb, as in "She is a doctor."

Are linking verbs transitive or intransitive?
Linking verbs are neither transitive nor intransitive.A transitive verb is an action verb that transfers its action to a direct object (someone or something that receives the action of the verb).Mark threw the ball. (ball is the direct object of the verb)An intransitive verb is an action verb that does not transfer its action.The ball bounced. (no direct object)A linking verb is a type of verb that connects the subject to a predicate nominative or predicate adjective (subject complement). Because linking verbs do not express an action, they cannot be transitive or intransitive.Mark is a baseball player. (baseball player is a predicate nominative and provides more information about the subject, Mark)Mark is awesome. (awesome is a predicate adjective)

Is crazy a direct object?
Crazy cannot be a direct object because it's an adjective. A direct object is who or what receives the action of the transitive verb. Example: Ramone lifted 300 pounds. (Lifted is a transitive verb, and 300 pounds is the direct object. It's what was lifted.) Crazy can be used as a subject complement (a predicate nominative or predicate adjective) and follows a linking verb. A linking verb is not transitive because it's not an action. Example: Kevin is crazy. (Crazy is a predicate adjective)
