Identify the subject, verb, predicate noun, and predicate adjective in the sentence below. Choose "none" for any of these elements not present in the sentence. He is the guitarist who played for our banquet.

Subject:

Verb:___

Predicate noun:___

Predicate adjective:___

He (subject), is (verb), guitarist (predicate noun), played (predicate adjective). I beleive this is accurate, but am not positive. I explained some things down below. Good luck!

Explanation:

A predicate noun is a noun that comes after a linking verb. The predicate noun renames or re-identifies the subject.

A predicate adjectives, basically, modifies the subject of a sentence. Here's an example. In the sentence "The wall is purple," the subject is "wall," the predicate adjective is "purple" and the linking verb is "is." So, it's subject, verb, and predicate adjective.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
