Answer 5

Okay, a predicate adjective modifies the subject of the sentence and is connected to the subject by a linking verb. What is the subject in this sentence?

Answer 6

Fall Plants

Answer 7

Good. And the verb?

Answer 8

Containers

Answer 9

A verb is an action word :)

Answer 10

like running, jogging, or sleeping

Answer 11

No. What are the fall plants doing? What state of being are they?

Answer 12

They are turning orange and brown

Answer 13

Good. So the specific word here is "were". Now the way this works is subject-verb-predicate adjective. So you've already defined it. So what is your adjective?

Answer 14

im guesing the answers are fall orange and brown

Answer 15

Yes

Answer 16

But you want the predicate adjective not just the adjectives. So your answer is orange becasue it follows the linking verb.

Answer 17

Just orange?

Answer 18

I'm sorry it says you can choose multiple. So its orange and brown, because the both follow. Fall does not.

Answer 19

Ok.
