Asked by Carrot

Which sentence contains a predicate noun?
A. The walk through the tunnel was eerie.
B. I bought my mom a cookbook for her birthday.
C. My dog is a master of the household.
D. The ground is very uneven.
I think it's A or B. Could you provide me with help and if you have an explanation or article to help me understand please give me that rather than the answer. I couldn't find a good article that I understand. Thanks!

Predicate nouns occur only in sentences with linking verbs.

He is my brother.
In this sentence, ‘brother’ is the predicate noun.

So would it be B?
Answered by Writeacher
No. ‘Bought’ is an action verb.

Predicate nouns also are the same as the subject. ‘He’ and ‘brother’ in my sentence refer to the same person.
