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.
That's right.

Hello Anonymous poster
When you respond to something that was posted several pages ago in a thread (as was the case with your post), it is a good idea to quote what your response refers to.
Predicate adjective is basically an adjective that describes a noun with the help of a linking verb. Very basic. Example: Clifford is red. The word 'red' would be a predicate adjective. Note that predicate adjectives NEVER come before the verb. For instance, 'The red dog' would not qualify the word 'red' as a predicate adjective because it is not joined by a linking verb.
Hope this helps!

I also do what I call a LINKING test
subject is equal to ____???___
teacher was man ----tall just tells me what kind of man.
Tanya says she isgoing to the prom.
She restates tanya as tthe subject and is the linking verb
It is a word that RENAMES THE SUBJECT and COMES AFTER THE VERB.
Ex: Cassie is a good student. - Student RENAMES Cassie.
Predicate Adjective:
It is an adjective that DESCRIBES THE SUBJECT and COMES AFTER THE VERB.
Ex: The purse was cute. - Cute DESCRIBES purse.
Object of Preposition:
It is the noun or pronoun that comes after the preposition. (Here is a list of prepositions:

Ex: She left her shoes beside the door. - Beside is the preposition. Door is the object of preposition.
