Predicate Nominative - Grammar Island
www.grammar-island.com › predicate-nominativeA predicate nominative is a noun that follows the verb and renames the subject person, animal, or thing. It explains or defines the subject and is identical with it. The subject and the predicate noun are joined by a linking verb such as am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been, become, or seem. We remember that a linking verb does not show action, nor does it "help" the action verb.
