4. Review: Predicate Nominative

• When the verb be is used as the main verb of a sentence, it is called a linking verb. It links what follows the verb to the subject.

• When a noun follows the linking verb, it renames the subject. It is called a predicate nominative.

• Example to follow

• Example

– Kokopelli is a flute player.

4. Review: Predicate Nominative

• Is: is the main verb of the sentence and is a form of the verb be, and is the linking verb

• Player: comes after the linking verb and it is a noun that renames the subject. Kokopelli and player are the same person.

• Therefore, player is the predicate nominative of the sentence
