A predicate adjective modifies the subject of the sentence, and is connected to the subject by a linking verb. Predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and refers to the same person or thing as the subject of the verb. Direct Object is the receiver of action in a sentence. Indirect object is a grammar term for the person or thing to which something is done by the action of the verb in a sentence. ~ http://examples.yourdictionary.com Based from these definitions, the word "florist" from you sentence is a predicative nominative. You're right (:
