predicate+nominative


 * Definition:**

A second type of subject complement--a noun, group, of nouns, or noun clause that renames the subject. It, like the predicate adjective, follows a linking verb and is located in the predicate of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "Abe Lincoln was a man of integrity," the predicate nominative is "man of integrity," as it renames Abe Lincoln. Occasionally, this term or the term predicate adjective appears in a multiple-choice. question.
