1) To identify the predicate adjective in the sentence you should refer to its definition. The predicate adjective usually connects to the subject of the sentence by following the linking verb of that subject. This is a sort of characteristic that stands with verb complementing the predicate and supporting the subject. In this sentence the subject is "British actor" and the predicate adjective is "popular" as it follows the linking verb to be. 2) As you can get from the definition of the predicate adjective, it is an adjective that the predicate of the sentence includes to complete itself with a characteristic of the verb. So you can just determine the predicate of the sentence and recognize the needed adjective. In this sentence the predicate is ‘’were brave’’- the verb to be is followed by the adjective brave- so this is what you need. 3) Sometimes you can come across the sentence containing many adjectives but be careful when distinguishing which are predicate adjectives. As I have mentioned before, the predicate adjective always refers to the verb of the predicate, so you should define which adjectives follow the predicate, and do not confuse them with attributive ones. So, the predicate of the sentence is “would be difficult and dangerous” and the adjectives that you can see there is what you are looking for as they connected to the linking verb ‘would be’. 4) When determining predicate adjectives you should always remember that they are a part of the predicate. In this sentence you can see a three adjectives but only two of them are predicate ones. If you see a noun in the given option you have to omit it as the only thing you seek is adjective. The adjective - northernmost follows the noun region, so this adjective is attributive - expresses direct characteristic of the noun. And the predicate adjectives are : dark and cold as they follow linking verb ‘to be’. 5) You might be confused by the first adjective in this sentence, but it is a part of adverbial of the sentence which indicates the emplacement of the subject of the sentence. Again, the first thing should do is to define the object and the predicate. The object is Missouri River and the predicate is was narrow and gentle. These two adjectives which predicate contain are predicate adjective that follow the linking verb and modifies the noun. 6) Another tricky thing that you can come across is an adverb standing before the predicate adjective. Be sure you do not take an adverb as an adjective, this adverb can just pose as a modifier of the adjective. The predicate adjective, it its turn, modifies the object of the sentence, the object is “The Atlantic Ocean” and the predicate adjective is vast, which is a part of the predicate with the verb seemed. 7) There are two subjects in the options given, that definitely should be withdrawn. You have to define which adjective follows the predicate of the sentence and modifies the subject of the sentence. 'Sacagawea' is the object and its characteristic expressed by predicate is 'helpful'. These two parts are connected by the linking verb 'to be'. 8) In order to define the predicate adjective you also can put a question ‘’how’’ to the predicate of the sentence. As you can see, the subject is ‘the explorers ‘ and the predicate is ‘remained true’. The explorers remained HOW? They remained TRUE. And that is the answer you are looking for, as the adjective modifies the subject by following the verb ‘remain’ of the predicate. 9) The predicative adjective of the given sentence is courageous. Even though there is one more adjective but you should stick to the predicative one which can be founded in the predicate of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is ‘the explorers’ and the predicate which contains the adjective that modifies the subject is ‘ were courageous’. The other adjective is an example of attributive. 10) According to the many ways of determining the predicate adjectives and the grammar point which can help you to do this, now it is easy to choose the correct statements about this topic. As you already know, it modifies the subject of the linking verb, so A is correct one. The next thing that you learned is that it is always placed in the predicate, so another suitable answer is D.
