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.
