Hi :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Underlined word? And hello :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hoarse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas about what the answer might be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A predicate adjective

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, like before, are there any linking verbs in the sentence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. Let me provide you some information about linking verbs.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Doesn't hoarse describe the speaker ?

OpenStudy (conqueror):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is a link about linking verbs! @liza14 http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/linkingverb.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sounded?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no, no... There are no linking verbs in this sentence, that is what I meant to say.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The word 'sound' can sometimes be a linking verb and sometimes it can be an action verb. In this sentence it's an action verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember to know how and when the complements are used. Like how you can spot them... http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/objects.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right to say it is a predicate nominative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives are used with linking verbs, and there are no linking verbs in the sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so indirect object right to or for whom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i looked this problem up and everyone said predicate adjective r u sure that is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe someone else can help explain it to you, because I am not sure how to... Can one of you help us out? @AnswerMyQuestions @Conqueror
