"You look tired today." (you = tired)
The adjective tired is the predicate adjective (also called a subject complement).
The predicate adjective is the adjective following a linking verb which modifies (describes) the subject of the sentence.
A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).
