My brother is tall.
(The word "tall" is a predicate adjective; it modifies the subject "brother" from the other side of the linking verb "is.")
My brother is a computer technician.
(The word "technician" is a predicate nominative because it re-names the subject "brother" from the other side of the linking verb "is.")

A predicate adjective is an adjective that comes after a linking verb and describes the subject.
Examples:
Your chocolate cake is <u>delicious</u>.
I feel <u>fine</u>.
A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and means the same as the subject.
Examples:
Mrs. Orange is a great <u>teacher</u>.
Woody Guthrie was a talented song <u>writer</u>.
Examples:
Your chocolate cake is <u>delicious</u>.
I feel <u>fine</u>.
