So do you know the difference between subject and predicate nominative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kind of?

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

"A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun after some form of to be (is, was, might have been, and so on). Predicate nominatives are the bad boys in the back row of homeroom because they equal trouble. Here's what I mean: The verb to be, in all of its forms, is the same as an equal sign. Whatever comes before it (almost always a pronoun in the nominative case) must also follow it."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a predicate nominative right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because of "are"

OpenStudy (sasabina123):
