Answer: The short story by Jerome K Jerome (of Three Men and a Boat fame) called The Dancing Partner, is about a group of young girls who are talking about the fact that none of them can seem to find tgood dancing partners. Overheard by one of the girls' fathers, the man determines that he can build the ideal dancing partner, one who won't complain and will not step on their feet. He creates a dancing partner named Lt. Fritz. But when he is built the girls aren't sure about dancing with him. Finally, one girl does dance with him and realizes that she is enjoying herself. The girl, seeking to dazzle the rest of the dancers, loosens the screw on the mechanical dancer, and he goes faster and faster. At some point it becomes evident that she's passed out. They looked for the maker of the robot, but couldn't find him. Finally, they do find him, but it is too late for the young woman. She is dead. From that day forward the mechanical inventor stuck to making smaller things.
Explanation:
The linking verb in this sentence is " was", predicate noun is faolon and the predicate adjective is "interrupted"
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Linking verbs are those verbs in which there is no reference of action but just helps in connecting and linking the subject with the predicate in a given sentence. Examples include is, was, were, seem, are, am, look, feel sound, etc.
2. Verbs are basically considered to be action words but linking verbs do not talk bout action in a sentence rather it just assists in linking the first part of the sentence that is the subject, the doer in the sentence, with the predicate, which is what the subject does.
3. Predicate adjectives are those adjectives that transform and change the sentence which means that it doesn't rename the subject rather it describes it. In the above sentence," She was about to say more, but faolan interrupted", the word "interrupted" is the predicate adjective. A predicate is what the subject does and out here in the sentence the subject interrupted, hence it is predicate adjective. Here the predicate noun is faolon and what faolon did is predicate adjective, i.e, he interrupted.
