Underline each predicate adjective or a predicate nominative in the sentences. There is at least one (and maybe more) in each sentence.

She is pretty.
Aren’t you tired yet?
She is a cheerleader with the football team.
I didn’t know whether you were Santa Claus last Christmas.

Answer: Pretty, tired, cheerleader, Santa Claus

Step-by-step explanation:

A predicative adjective (phrase) follows a linking verb and serves to describe the preceding subject, e.x. The man is very happy. (-source)

The subject in the first sentence is 'she', proceeding to describe her as 'pretty'.

The second subject is 'you', proceeding to describe it as 'tired'.

If the basic meaning of the sentence stays the same, then it contains a predicate nominative. For example, “Ben is a fireman” can read “Ben equals a fireman” without changing the point. In this example, fireman is the predicate nominative. (-source)

The third subject is 'she', and after that says she is a 'cheerleader', basically saying the obvious - she is a cheerleader.

The last subject is 'you' and proceeding to describe you somewhat like 'Santa Claus', a simile.
