what do you think idontunderstand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually I would say B. I feel like it's B. I could be wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it sounds right i am un for sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank anonymous

The Predicate Nominative is the word that kinda completes the sentence and Skateboard defiantly does this. Thats why I chose B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome and how I can tell its bec is because it's being used as the verb and verbs are always in the predicate so therefore it had to be predicate nominative

thanks everyone
