A <u>predicate adjective</u> is on the "other" side of a linking verb from the subject -- and it modifies the subject.
John is <u>tall</u>.

A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject.
Examples:
His girlfriend is very <b>pretty</b>.
Dorothy seemed <b>uneasy</b>.
The things in the dishwasher are <b>dirty</b>.
