Can you give me examples of subject linking verb predicate adjective?

Here are some examples of subject-linking verb-predicate adjective sentences:

Simple Examples:

* The sky is blue.

* She feels happy.

* This cake tastes delicious.

* The water seems cold.

* He looks tired.

More Complex Examples:

* The old house was dark and eerie.

* My grandmother is kind and generous.

* That book appears extremely interesting.

* The situation became increasingly tense.

* The music sounds uplifting and hopeful.

Key Points:

* Linking verbs connect the subject to a word that describes or renames the subject. Common linking verbs include "be" (am, is, are, was, were, been, being), "seem," "appear," "look," "feel," "smell," "taste," and "sound."

* Predicate adjectives modify or describe the subject. They typically come after the linking verb.

* Subject-linking verb-predicate adjective sentences describe a state of being or a quality of the subject. They don't express an action.

Let me know if you'd like more examples or have any further questions!
