Answer 1

A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and modifies (i.e., refers back to) the subject of the linking verb.

A predicate adjective contrasts with an attributive adjective, which typically sits immediately before the noun it modifies.

A example is: The shoes look expensive.

'The shoes' is the subject. 'Look' is the linking verb. 'Expensive' is the predicate adjective.

Answer 2

So now that you know what it is , what is the predicate adjective?

Answer 3

Ok 'The skin' is the subject.

Answer 4

first find the complete predicate.... " is green "
a predicate adjective is an adjective in the predicate the describes the subject.
So, the subject is " skin "......GREEN SKIN....
the predicate adj is green as it is found in the predicate and it describes the skin as being green.
