What is a predicate ajective and what is a predicate nomanative?

2 answers

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 delicious.
I feel fine.

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 teacher.
Woody Guthrie was a talented song writer.
