S-Vl-PA and Adjectives
We have talked about adjective in our writing class, so I think we have a pretty good idea about those.
Let's take a look at Chart L on page 420 and expand on our definition.
But what about a predicate adjective? Just by looking at its name, what can we determine about it?
1) It's an adjective. And we just reviewed that adjectives answer the questions What kind? How many? Which? Whose?

2) This adjective is located in the predicate of the sentence. What is the definition of the predicate? That part of a sentence that says something about the subject.

The old milk smelled spoiled.
What smelled spoiled?
What is being said about milk?
Milk smelled what?
Which milk?
What kind of milk?
How do we diagram this?

Jesus is holy.
Who is holy? What is being said about Jesus? Can holy be used to replace or describe Jesus? Yes, describe. We can say, 'holy Jesus.'

Jesus is merciful.
Who is merciful? What is being said about Jesus? Can merciful be used to replace or describe Jesus?
Yes, describe. We can say, 'merciful Jesus.'

Kellan is a gymnast.
Who is a gymnast? What's being said about Kellan? Can gymnast be used to replace or describe Kellan?

How do we diagram these? Just like our Predicate Nominatives!
