PREDICATE ADJECTIVES

What Is a Predicate Adjective?

A predicate adjective is an adjective that completes a link-ing verb and modifies the subject of that linking verb.

Here are two examples of predicate adjectives:

miiiij

x

The soup tastes salty.

S.

L.V.

PRED. ADJ.

(Salty is a predicate adjective because it completes the linking verb

tastes and modifies the subject soup.)

miiiij

x

You were fabulous.

S.

L.V. PRED. ADJ.

(Fabulous is a predicate adjective because it completes the linking

verb were and modifies the subject You.)
