Question

We get our paychecks on Friday and I always need mine. What is the word mine in this sentence? Subject, Direct Object or Predicate Nominative

Answer 1

Predicate Nominative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit goes to the only other person there and I don't know their username.

Answer 2

The correct answer option is Predicate Nominative.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following sentence:

'We get our paychecks on Friday and I always need mine'. Here in this case, the word 'mine' is acting as a predicate nominative.

A predicate nominative (which is also called a predicate noun) is a word or group of words which completes a linking verb and also renames the subject.

Here 'mine' is a pronoun which completes the linking verb 'need'.
