Predicate Adjectives
Is an adjective that is in the predicate and that describes
the subject.
Like a predicate nominative, a predicate adjective
completes the meaning of a linking verb.
Predicate adjectives follow linking verbs such as is, are,
seem, appear, feel, sound, and smell
Examples
The Rodriguezes are happy about their new home.
[The adjective happy describes the subject Rodriguezes
and completes the meaning of the linking verb are.]
Doesn’t the soup smell delicious?
[The adjective delicious describes the subject soup and
Completes the meaning of the linking verb smell.]
Underline the predicate
adjective in the
following sentences.
1. That Japanese tea set looks expensive.
2. That lemonade tastes sour.
3. Their work was hard.
4. Your clay should be moist and soft.
5. Will the test tomorrow be easy or hard?
