Hope you’re prepared to party…
Predicate Nominatives
• A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that appears with a linking verb and renames, identifies or explains the subject of a sentence.
Take Note: In a sentence with a predicate nominative, the linking verb acts as an equal sign between the subject and the predicate nominative. They refer to the same person or thing.
Predicate Nominative Examples
• In the examples, subjects are underlined once, linking verbs are in black font, and predicate nominatives are italicized.
1. The winner of the tournament is our team.
** Team renames winner.
2. The new captain of the team will be Sue.
** Sue renames captain.
