	Guest  #107191  Fri, 10 Jun 05 05:31 AM I am having a hard time distinguishing predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives, and object of preposition. I need a couple good examples and good ways to determine if it is a Predicate nominative, predicate adjective, or object of prepoistion. Thanks, Mark K.    Guest

"That house" is a preposition's object. paco    paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member (4,095) In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

	paco2004  #154979  Fri, 04 Nov 05 02:25 AM 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 President at different times. #2 says George Bush is now the President but he could take another post at different times. paco    paco2004

	Cutienemo04  #172102  Tue, 20 Dec 05 05:26 AM 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.    Cutienemo04 Joined on Tue, Dec 20 2005 Los Angeles New Member (08) \(^0^)/
