Predicate Noun
表語
Nouns-name a person, place, thing, or idea
名詞- 命名人、地點、事物或觀點的詞語
Nouns can function as predicate nouns. A predicate noun follows a linking verb and renames the subject of the sentence or clause.
名詞可以用作表語。跟在連系動詞后面，指代句子或分句的主語。
找出表語：
1) Find the verb.
找出動詞
2) Is the verb and action verb or a linking verb?
這個動詞是行為動詞或連系動詞嗎?
3) If the verb is a linking verb, you could have a predicate noun or a predicate adjective.
如果是連系動詞，可以找到一個表語或表語形容詞。
4) Look for the word after the linking verb that renames or describes the subject.
找出連系動詞后重命名或描述主語的詞。
5) If the word is a noun-a person, place, thing-that renames the subject, you have found a predicate noun.
如果這個詞是指代主語的名詞(人、地點、事物)，這就是表語。
Sometimes, you may hear a predicate noun called a predicate nominative. These two terms mean the same thing.
表語(predicate noun)等于謂語性主格(predicate nominative)。
