is was running Running - Simple verb Was running – Verb phrase Running – Predicate Verb Was running fast - Complete predicate HOWEVER

Verb phrase and complete predicate Tom has been running daily for three miles. What is the main verb? Running What is the verb phrase? Has been running What is the simple predicate? Has been

running Single word adverb modifiers? Daily Adverbial prepositional phrase modifier?

Linking verbs are used in SVN and SVA sentences. It sets up an equation.

Linking Verbs

A predicate nominative or predicate noun completes a linking verb and renames the subject. It is a complement or completer because it completes the verb.

Predicate nominatives complete only linking verbs. The linking verbs include the following: the helping verbs is, am, are, was, were, be, being, and been; the sense verbs look, taste, smell, feel, and sound; and verbs like become, seem, appear, grow, continue, stay, and turn.

The verb in a sentence having a predicate nominative can always be replaced by the word equals. Examples: Mr. Johanson is a teacher. Mr. Johanson equals a teacher. Mr. Johanson is a father. Mr. Johanson equals a father. Mr. Johanson is my neighbor. Mr. Johanson equals my neighbor.

Instructions: Find the verb, subject and predicate nominatives in these sentences.

1. Ann is a new mother. 2. The black dog in the yard was a large Doberman. 3. The tall boy has been our best basketball player. 4. My uncle became a rich computer expert. 5. Mr. Bush may be our next President.  

Predicate Nominative

 1. Ann = subject, is = verb, mother = predicate nominative

2. dog = subject, was = verb, Doberman = predicate nominative

3. boy = subject, has been = verb, player = predicate nominative

4. uncle = subject, became = verb, expert = predicate nominative

5. Mr. Bush = subject, may be = verb, president = predicate nominative
