Answer:
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, but it mustly follows a linking verb in a sentence. A list of linking verbs is given below. These verbs are linking verbs only if they are followed by adjectives, nouns, or pronouns that rename the subject.

Example: This cake is GOOD. (good cake) Her hair looks so SHINY. (shiny hair)
Linking Verbs
is, become, seen, grow, turn, prove, look, feel, sound, smell, taste, appear, remain, keep and stay.

1. *Sarah looks OLDER with makeup. 2. The *children remained CALM. 3. *You are UNREASONABLE. 4. *You are PATIENT today. 5. *Babette grew TIRED of waiting. 6. *I grew WEARY from the complaints. 7. *Robert seems CHEERFUL today. 8. The *gumbo tasted GREAT. 9. That *idea sounds WONDERFUL. 10. The *roses smelled FRAGRANT. 11. *We remained CALM. 12. The *weather will turn COLD this evening.
