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.
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."

(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).
