<strong><a href="/glossary#predicate-adjective">Definition of Predicate Adjective</a></strong><!--
A predicate adjective is a word that follows a copular verb, such as "be" (or other similar copular verbs, like "become", etc.), and that is predicated of a subject noun phrase. We exclude predicate nominals (e.g "a genius" as in the sentence  "John is a genius"), and other words and phrases that are unambiguously members of other categories, such as numerals ("We are two tonight."), passive participles ("They were seen.") and prepositional phrases ("The are in the house"). Typical adjectives include: "young", "old", "new", and “goodâ€.<br>--><br><br>
