SKILL 50: USE PREDICATE ADJECTIVES CORRECTLY

A predicate adjective appears after a linking verb such as be. It cannot appear directly in front of the noun that it describes.

A more basic clarification of predicate descriptive words is it alters the subject of the sentence. In the sentence "The blooms are blue," the subject is "the blossoms." In this case, "blue" is the thing that alters the subject, "the blossoms," and is associated with the subject by what is known as a connecting verb.
