Example of Copulative Sentences

Copulative sentences, also called attributive sentences, are the sentences that have a copulative verb and an attribute. These types of predicates that contain a copulative verb and an attribute are called noun predicates.

The copulative verbs have the function of linking the subject with a attribute. Hence its name copulative, since its main function is the union of two elements. By themselves these types of verbs do not have a complete meaning; the attribute complements the idea of ​​what is expressed by the copulative verb.

The copulative verbs in Spanish are the following:

• To be
• To be
• Seem 

The attribute linked to the subject of the sentence is a word or a phrase that adds a quality or a state to the subject. The attribute can be composed of an adjective (“She is high"), A noun (" She is a hardworking person”), An adverb (“ That is very well"), A pronoun (" We are the best U.S”), An infinitive verb (“ Amar es forgive") Or a subordinate clause (" The important thing is may we be happy”).

The attribute of a copulative sentence can always be replaced by the pronoun it. In this way we can identify it more easily.

Let's explain:

• Life it is pink color.
  In this copulative sentence the copulative verb to be joins the attribute pink color with the subject Life.

• This food It seems delicious.
  In this copulative sentence the copulative verb seem unite the subject This food with the attribute delicious.

• The boy this lost.
  The copulative verb to be bind attribute lost with subject of the sentence: The boy.

As mentioned, the attributes of copulative sentences can be substituted for the pronoun it. Let's take the attributes of the sentences above as an example:

• Life is pink color. (Life it it is).
  Attribute pink color can be substituted for the pronoun it.

• This food seems delicious. (This food it It seems).
  Attribute delicious can be substituted for the pronoun it.

• The boy is lost. (The boy it this).
  Attribute lost can be substituted for the pronoun it.
