Understand the Problem

The question asks to identify the linking verb and the predicate noun or adjective in the given sentence. The sentence is: "Always be a good sport, no matter the outcome of the game or the attitude of your opponent."

Linking verb: be. Predicate adjective: good. Predicate noun: sport.

Answer for screen readers

The linking verb is "be", the predicate adjective is "good" and the predicate noun is "sport".

More Information

Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that describes or renames the subject. Predicate nouns and predicate adjectives are types of subject complements, which means they follow a linking verb and provide more information about the subject.

Tips

A common mistake is thinking the linking verb must always come directly before the predicate noun/adjective but other words can come in between.
