Answer 1

A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun which follows the verb and describes or renames the subject. It is another way of naming the subject. It follows a linking verb.

Think about what a subject is and then tell me what you think. We know that grammatically speaking, "I" would be the word to use. But which part of speech makes more sense?

Answer 2

predicate nominative?

Answer 3

yes predicate nominative

Answer 4

Look again. Where is the linking verb?

Think about the topic of the sentence. Where do you see any verbs?

Answer 5

So it would be B then.

Answer 6

Andrew and I don't say Andrew and Me

Answer 7

It is between A and C but remember what I told you about predicate nominatives

Answer 8

If it's between A and C it would be B. Correct?
