Ideas?

tjbrew · Answer

Remember a predicate nominative completes a linking verb (any form of the verb To Be) and renames the subject.

tjbrew · Answer

so "has been" is the linking verb...and the subject is hobby, so what word renames or can be used to rename "hobby". In other words, a linking verb always links the predicate nominative back to the subject. so they are essentially one and the same thing...
