Question

My mom was a proud PARENT when she reviewed my midterm grades. What is the function of the capitalized word in the sentence?

Answer 1

Choices:
A.) subject

B.) direct object

C.) predicate nominative

D.) indirect object

Answer: letter C.) predicate nominative
> Predicate Nominative are nouns followed by a linking verb that stands for the subject.
The word PARENT is a noun that restates the subject "mom".
> predicate nominative renames the subject and is considered as a "completer" or "compliment" as it completes the verb [linking verb].
