Predicate Noun
表语
Nouns-name a person, place, thing, or idea
名词- 命名人、地点、事物或观点的词语
Nouns can function as predicate nouns. A predicate noun follows a linking verb and renames the subject of the sentence or clause.
名词可以用作表语。跟在连系动词后面，指代句子或分句的主语。
找出表语：
1) Find the verb.
找出动词
2) Is the verb and action verb or a linking verb?
这个动词是行为动词或连系动词吗?
3) If the verb is a linking verb, you could have a predicate noun or a predicate adjective.
如果是连系动词，可以找到一个表语或表语形容词。
4) Look for the word after the linking verb that renames or describes the subject.
找出连系动词后重命名或描述主语的词。
5) If the word is a noun-a person, place, thing-that renames the subject, you have found a predicate noun.
如果这个词是指代主语的名词(人、地点、事物)，这就是表语。
Sometimes, you may hear a predicate noun called a predicate nominative. These two terms mean the same thing.
表语(predicate noun)等于谓语性主格(predicate nominative)。
