Just some terminology before the actual question so you understand what "predicate nominative" really means.
Subject:
Discussing the one who does something or is something in the sentence.
Predicate: Discussing the action which the subject does in the sentence.

In this sentence:
Subject: Chess
Predicate: has always been one of Henry's favorite board games.

Nominative: Describing the subject (words following <em>to be, to seem, </em>etc.)
Accusative: Taking a direct object (such as <em>to have, to see, to tell, </em>etc.)
Dative: Taking an indirect object (such as <em>to go <u>to</u>, </em><em>to look <u>at</u>, </em><em>to say <u>to</u>, </em>etc.)
Genitive: Possessing sth. (<em>Henry's, his, of the United States, </em>etc.)
<em>*note that nominative uses linking words and accusative/dative use action verbs.</em>

If you look in the sentence we have here, <em>been</em> is a paste tense of <em>to be</em>.
It is describing the subject as being one of Henry's favorite board games, and is thus using the nominative.

However, the term predicate nominative is a bit more specific than that, it's not referring to that entire phrase. It is just the object of that predicate, what the subject is being renamed to. Usually you can substitute <em /><em>equal</em><em>s</em> in the sentence and it should still work.

In this sentence, the predicate nominative is <u>games</u>. (Chess = game)

Answer:

A year ago I wrote this same type of essay, I'm going to give you pointers.

Explanation:

1: The deer population on Komodo island is decreasing due to poachers. The effect of the decreasing Deer Population means less food for the Dragons

2: The villagers are currently facing problems with the Komodo dragons both of their livestock being attacked and their own children being attacked as well. In fact a villager commented: "Today is a goat, tomorrow is a child".

3: These problems can be easily fixed. The government can help stop poaching on deers. Secondly, a petition for the villagers to allow feeding the Komodo to stop them from going after their livestock and children has been requested. Lastly, a dragon-proof fence has also been requested by the villagers but has been denied by the Nature Conservancy.

Hope this helped!

Read the poem by Emily Dickinson.
astra-53 [7]
Carmine is a shade of red. I think this refers to the red tulip changing from a green bud to a red flower. So therefore, putting on her carmine suit as in turning into a beautiful shade of red. This might symbolize change and growth.

If you wanted to know exactly what was in the entire valedictory speech delivered by Angel Ramirez, the BEST source for you to u
SashulF [63]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A transcript of the speech is the only source mentioned here that would state verbatim what Angel Ramirez said in her valedictory speech. A local newspaper article would probably only mentioned that Angel was the valedictorian.

A journal about the graduation might perhaps highlight the important takeaway messages from the speech, but would not include the whole thing. The index cards would include prompts from the speech to keep Angel on track, but would say relatively little about the overall message.

Write a letter to the chairman of national library to open a furnished library in your locality​
user100 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

90 Aba Owerri Road,

Umungasi,

Aba,

Abia State,

Nigeria.

2nd November, 2020

The Chairman,

National Library Commission,

Federal Secretariat,

FCT.

Sir,

REQUEST FOR A FURNISHED LIBRARY IN ABA

It is with utmost expediency that I write to you to demand the opening of a state of the art library in Aba metropolis.

Aba is an ancient town in South Eastern Nigerian known for its zest for the acquisition of knowledge. Aba is home to three tertiary institutions of international repute. These institutions have contributed positively to local and international research.

Unfortunately, there is no public library that serves the residents of Aba metropolis. Aba residents have to travel to Owerri to access a furnished public library. This situation has a negative impact on the younger generation. It hinders the development of a reading culture among youths and teenagers.

Personally, I have been forced to undertake trips to nearby cities in order to access library services. This ought not to be so in the 21st century.

I call on you to use your good office to initiate the location of a well furnished public library in Aba metropolis.

Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.

Yours Faithfully,

Jude Chinonso Njoku
