The predicate of the sentence is the part of a sentence that includes the verb and the words related to it that follow. 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.

Some examples of predicate nominatives using personal pronouns include: "I am she," "You are he," and "They are we." In these examples, the personal pronouns (I, you, they) serve as the subjects of the sentences and are connected to the pronouns after the linking verb (am, are) to complete the predicate nominative construction.
A predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.Any noun or pronoun can function as a predicate nominative. Some examples are:Margaret is my sister.The apples are golden delicious.The one who has the most is you.Joseph was elected class president.This is it!
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)

A predicate can include a noun or a pronoun.Examples:I love you. (the complete predicate is 'love you'; the simple predicate is the verb 'love')I made you some brownies. (the complete predicate is 'made you some brownies'; the simple predicate is the verb 'made'; the noun 'brownies is the direct object of the verb; the pronoun 'you' is the indirect object of the verb)

subject (noun or pronoun) + predicate (verb) examples: Bob drove. Stop! ("You" is implied.)

(the complete predicate is 'took the train from work'; the simple predicate is the verb 'took')
