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?

No. What are the fall plants doing? What state of being are they?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
They are turning orange and brown
OpenStudy (nobodyssalvation):
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?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im guesing the answers are fall orange and brown
OpenStudy (nobodyssalvation):
Yes

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

Just orange?
OpenStudy (nobodyssalvation):
I'm sorry it says you can choose multiple. So its orange and brown, because the both follow. Fall does not.
