The difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb to restate the subject of the sentence. Example:Mom is the boss.Theyare friends.
In grammar, an object is a noun or noun phrase that receives the action of the verb, while a predicate is the part of a sentence that contains the verb and provides information about the subject. Objects typically come after the verb, while the predicate includes the verb along with any accompanying words that describe the action or state of being.

(doctor renames he) Predicate adjectives: "She is happy." (happy describes she) An object of a preposition is a noun that follows a preposition in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She went to the store," "store" is the object of the preposition "to" because it is the noun that relates to the preposition by showing the destination.
