Complement
Is it possible to use different word classes at once as the same subject complement, like "S is adj, noun, and past/present participial?
Or when two or more words are combined by "and" and used as the subject complement, does it basically have to be the same word class (i.e. S is adj1 and adj2. S is noun1 and noun2. S is p.p1 and p.p2)?

AS, to use your example, what I'm wondering about is whether this kind of construction would work or not.
The table is pure white, made of rare wood, and a work of art. (i.e. S is adj, p.p and noun)
What do you think?
