A predicate adjective modifies the subject, to which it is connected by a linking verb.
A noun used in the same way is called a predicate nominative.
A subject
a predictive adjective
Yes, first is an adverb as well as an adjective. The word "firstly" is technically an adverb, but is not used to modify a single word, but an entire predicate.
A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "The flowers are beautiful," "beautiful" is the predicate adjective. A predicate nominative, on the other hand, is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames the subject. In the sentence "She is a teacher," "teacher" is the predicate nominative.
Adverb
A predicate adjective is a type of adjective that describes the subject of a linking verb that it follows. It follows the linking verb in the sentence, and then refers back to it.
A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that renames the subject of a sentence, while a predicate adjective is an adjective that describes the subject of a sentence. Predicate nominatives typically follow a linking verb, such as "is," "was," or "become," while predicate adjectives modify the subject of the sentence directly.
adjective clause
Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. In the sentence "I am happy to meet you", happy is a predicate adjective. The word it's describing is the subject "I", a pronoun.
I think its "IMMATURE" Nope, its "quite", because "immature" is the adjective, so the PREdicate comes BEFORE the adjective. How can quite be adjective? It describes how much immature John is... there fore it becomes an adverb... Am I wrong? If so, then how?
a predictive adjective
Grateful can be a predicate adjective. Example: I am grateful. A predicate adjective follows a linking verb and describes the subject. "Am" is the linking verb, "grateful" is the predicate adjective, and "I" is the subject.
Quite is an adverb of degree used to modify the predicate adjective late.
There is no predicate adjective in that sentence.
Helpless is the predicate adjective.
Not usually, but sometimes. A complete predicate may include a "predicate adjective" that modifies the simple subject, as in the sentence, "She is pretty", in which "pretty" modifies the simple subject "she". However, this is by no means a necessary part of a predicate in general.
we can change it around
Any adjective can be used as a predicate adjective, an adjective that follows a linking verb. Examples: The noisy boy will arrive soon. (adjective) The boy is noisy. (predicate adjective)
