Here's a breakdown:
* Linking Verb: A verb that connects the subject to a word that renames or describes it (e.g., is, am, are, was, were, be, been, become, seem, appear, feel).
* Predicate Nominative: A noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames the subject.
Example:
* The cat is a fluffy Persian.
* Subject: The cat
* Linking Verb: is
* Predicate Nominative: a fluffy Persian (renames the cat)
