hey paco, nice answer.
i gotta a question for you- in a sentence where there seems to be two predicate nominatives, how do you know whether it's a predicate nominative or subject. for example, check this out- The champion gymnasts were the boy and his sister. the underlined parts- are they subjects or predicate nominatives?

Hello Anon
It is a rule of English that the subject stands before the verb in a plain predicative sentence.
(1) The President is George Bush.
(2) George Bush is the President.
The two sentences seem the same in the meaning, but strictly speaking, they are slightly different. #1 says "The President is now George Bush". It implies another person could be the Pr

Your explanation is perfect!!
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb tand identifies, renames or explains the subject.
Here is an example:
Mammals are the only animals with hair. Animals is the predicate nominative.

To find PREDICATE NOMITIVE you have to find what it is renaming like here..... EXAMPLES DOWN BELOW
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TEXANS.
TEXANS ARE RENAMING PEOPLE LIKE THERE COULD BE A OTHER NOMITIVE LIKE...
THOSE PEOPLE ARE MEXICANS.
MEXICANS ARE RENAMING PEOPLE
THOSE PEOPLE ARE TEXANS.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE MEXICANS.

Sorry - I'm new to this forum and can't figure out how else to post except to reply to your post. One more predicate noun/adjective question. The grammar book gives examples like:
Predicate noun: The cat is black.
Predicate adj: The cat is mangy.
But then the very first sentence where I'm supposed to identify p. noun or p. adj. says:
Predicate noun: The cat is black.
Predicate adj: The cat is mangy.

Hi,
One more predicate noun/adjective question. The grammar book gives examples like:
Predicate noun: The cat is black. 'Black' is an adjective here, not a noun.
Predicate adj: The cat is mangy.
