A predicate nominative or predicate noun completes a linking
verb and renames the subject. It is a complement or completer
because it completes the verb.
Predicate nominatives complete only linking verbs. The linking
verbs include the following: the helping verbs is, am, are, was,
were, be, being, and been; the sense verbs look, taste, smell,
feel, and sound; and verbs like become, seem, appear, grow,
continue, stay, and turn.
The verb in a sentence having a predicate nominative can always
be replaced by the word equals. Examples: Mr. Johanson is a
teacher. Mr. Johanson equals a teacher. Mr. Johanson is a father.
Mr. Johanson equals a father. Mr. Johanson is my neighbor. Mr.
Johanson equals my neighbor.

these sentences.
