Answer 1

Here are some examples of predicate nominate:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He is the \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm one }\) who wanted help.
I am the \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm user }\) who helps people.
You are the \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm questioner }\).

Answer 2

well i know the subject is mary

Answer 3

you have:
the \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm Blah~Blah~Blah}\) are \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm Mary }\) and \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm I }\).

(the subject is compound actually, it is \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \rm Mary }\) and \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \rm I }\) )

Answer 4

can you tell me what the \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm predicate }\) and \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm nominatives}\) are?

Answer 5

oops, the word "and" in my last reply, should not be there

Answer 6

i dont know what the predicate is auctually sorry.

Answer 7

lets look at the examples, and then at what I say below:

Predicate nominative is how I re-label the described person.
Like when I have:
He is the \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm one }\) who wanted help.

then,
the word \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \rm He }\) (a pronoun), is being re-labeled, or re-identified, by
the following words: \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm "the~one~who~wanted~help" }\)

except that the predicate nominative is not the entire phrase, (the entire phrase would be a noun clause), but it is just \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm "one" }\) the main subject of this phrase (of the noun clause).

Answer 8

Answer 15

`The ticket takers at the Castle Rock field on Friday are Mary and I. `

so you essentially have the following:
The \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm blank }\) are \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm Mary }\) and \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm I }\).

Answer 16

(the blue are predicative nominatives.
