* Predicate nominatives are nouns or pronouns that re-name the subject of the sentence. They follow a linking verb (like "is," "are," "was," "were," etc.).
Let's break down each option:
* A. This he: This isn't a complete sentence. It lacks a verb.
* B. him: This is a pronoun, but it doesn't have a subject or verb to connect to.
* C. It them: This is also incomplete. It's missing a verb.
* D. her: Similar to the others, this is just a pronoun without context.
Example of a sentence with a predicate nominative:
* The winner is *she*. (She renames the subject "winner.")
To help you identify predicate nominatives, remember to look for a linking verb and a noun or pronoun that re-names the subject.
