A predicate noun, or predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun which follows the verb and describes or renames the subject. It is another way of naming the subject. It follows a linking verb. Examples:
The plane created by Molly is a winner (the noun winner renames the plane).
My dog is the terrier.
The flowers that I planted are tulips and daffodils.
Their best dessert is the cheesecake.
I am a perfectionist.
A predicate nominative is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.Any noun or pronoun can function as a predicate nominative. Some examples are:Margaret is my sister.The apples are golden delicious.The one who has the most is you.Joseph was elected class president.This is it!
A predicate nominative is the noun (or pronoun) that follows a linking verb.Ex. Bob is the king.In the above sentence, "king" is the predicate nominative.
in your question, no..."a predicate noun" is the predicate noun he was a creature...yes
Mountain is a predicate noun.
These are examples of sentences with predicate noun:Kate is a teacher.Mary Sanchez is a champion on drawing pictures!That lizard is ugly.
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun. A predicate noun is a noun.
A predicate noun (predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. A predicate nominative is a function in a sentence, not a specific noun; any noun can be a predicate nominative. The word 'writer' is a noun.
A linking verb must be present to have a predicate adjective or predicate noun. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which can be a noun or an adjective that renames or describes the subject. Examples of linking verbs include "be," "become," "appear," "seem," and "feel."
No, the word 'you' is a pronoun (not a noun).The pronoun 'you' is the second person, personal pronoun; a word that takes the place of the noun (name) for the person spoken to.A predicate is the verb and all of the words that follow it that are related to that verb. A predicate can include a noun or a pronoun.Examples:I love you. (the complete predicate is 'love you'; the simple predicate is the verb 'love')I made you some brownies. (the complete predicate is 'made you some brownies'; the simple predicate is the verb 'made'; the noun 'brownies is the direct object of the verb; the pronoun 'you' is the indirect object of the verb)
The difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
