4. Review: Predicate Nominative

• Hardcover page 49 helps you review the linking verb be

• When the verb be is used as the main verb of a sentence, it is a linking verb

• It links what follows the verb to the subject

• When a noun follows a linking verb, it renames the subject. It is called a predicate nominative.

• Example:

• Lupe Medrano was an excellent student.

• The verb is is the main verb.• Is is a form of the verb be. It is a linking verb in this

sentence. • Student can rename Lupe, so it is a predicate

nominative.

4. Review: Predicate Nominative

• A direct object in a sentence answers the question: what did they (he/she/it) do it to?

• A direct object is the predicate part of the sentence and is usually a noun or pronoun.

• The verb be can never take a direct object• Example:– Lupe Medrano played marbles.

Workbook Page 69

Answers will vary. You should consider Lupe’s options and then form an opinion as to whether Lupe made a good

decision or a bad decision.

Lupe was reluctant to show her thumb to her father because she was embarrassed about it. She may also

have been unsure of his reaction if he saw it.

Lupe’s father supported her decision to compete in marbles by changing his plans in order to attend her competition, by rigging lights in the backyard so she

could practice after dark, and by offering to drive her to the competition so that she wouldn’t get tired.
