Here are some examples of predicate adjectives used in sentences. The predicate adjective is in bold type:
<span><span>Children grow older every day.</span><span>The baby remains happy during her bath.</span><span>Her lasagna smells scrumptious.</span><span>Andy’s sports car is Italian.</span><span>Bosses can be demanding.</span><span>His horses appear well-groomed.</span><span>Mount Rushmore looks amazing.</span><span>He seems afraid of the dog.</span><span>All the kittens are asleep.</span><span>His assignment proves difficult for him.</span><span>Tornadoes appear menacing.</span></span><span> </span>
A simple predicate has a verb, a string of verbs, or a compound verb. Examples of these three are: “She swam.” “She has been swimming.” and “She swam, got tired, and climbed out of the pool.” The verb is “swam” the verb string is “has been swimming” and the compound verb is “swam, got tired, and climbed”.
