Example of Predicate Nominative

Hi there! I’d be happy to help you and Samara with predicate nominatives. A predicate nominative is a noun or noun phrase that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. Let's take a look at your sentences!

1. She is the team leader.
   • Predicate nominative: "the team leader"
   • This is correct! It tells us who she is.
2. That person was the winner of the contest.
   • Predicate nominative: "the winner of the contest"
   • Great job! It identifies what that person is.
3. My friend became a doctor.
   • Predicate nominative: "a doctor"
   • Correct! It tells us what my friend became.
4. Those puppies are the cutest dogs in the park.
   • Predicate nominative: "the cutest dogs in the park"
   • This is also correct! It describes what those puppies are.
5. The final decision was a surprise.
   • Predicate nominative: "a surprise"
   • You got this one right too! It tells us what the final decision was.

All your sentences have the right predicate nominatives! 

Here are more examples of sentences with predicate nominatives:
