Sentences With Nominal Predicate

Thenominal predicate (also known as the copulative predicate) is the predicate whose nucleus is the verb be be or seem; These verbs are known as copulatives and are characterized by linking the subject with an attribute. For instance:

• "You you are a very special person”: The noun predicate is formed by the copulative verb are and the attribute a very special person; this attribute informs us about a characteristic of the subject your.

As we can see in these examples, in the noun predicate el nucleus (copulative verb) does not express a complete action but serves to link the subject with the attribute information that defines or characterizes it.

On the other hand, the verbal predicate It is one that is composed of any verb that is not copulative, but rather a predicative verb; these verbs, on the contrary, do express a complete meaning and there is no longer an attribute, for example: “You they bought a lot of souvenirs", "The knife cuts pretty well”.

How are sentences with a noun predicate formed?

Sentences with a noun predicate consist of a subject, a copulative verb, and an attribute that tells us something about the subject. There may also be other plugins that add more information, for example temporal, spatial, causal information, etc. Therefore they maintain the following structure:

Sentences with noun predicate = Subject + noun predicate (copulative verb (be be or seem) + attribute + add-ons)

Examples:

• "You you seem very confused today”: The noun predicate is formed by the copulative verb you seem + the attribute very confused + the circumstantial complement of time today
• "My friends they are from different countries”: The noun predicate is formed by the copulative verb are + the attribute from different countries
