Answer 5

Answer 6

why is the answer C??? and what do you mean by predicate adjective??

Answer 7

predicate adjective follows a linking verb as well as predicate nomatives.

this is a PA

She was pretty.
That car was fast.

these are PN

She is a girl.
He is my teacher.

Answer 8

so the answer to this is C, because of the predicate adjective 'not mine' ??

Answer 9

still confused :(

Answer 10

now in my sentence

The umbrella by the door is not mine.

the phrase "by the door" is an adjective phrase describing umbrella.

Remember an Adjective or Adjective Phrase answers the questions:
Which one

What kind

How much

Whose


In my sentence it answers... Which one

Which one? The one "by the door"

Do you understand?

Answer 11

so was i right?? was it B?? cuz large describes umbrella??
or was @countonme123 right?? cuz of the predicate adjective??? and is the predate adjective 'not mine'??im a bit lost :(

Answer 12

in my sentence there is also a predicate nomative which is the word "mine "
but the question asks which sentence has an adjective phrase.
In your sentence it only has an adjective... which is "large" and it is describing "umbrella"

Answer 13

Answer 14
