There is no predicate adjective in the sentence.

Respuesta :

Answer: There is no predicate adjective in the sentence.

Explanation:

Predicate adjective is defined as an adjective that follows the linking verb and modifies the subject of the linking verb.

For Example:

The shoes look expensive.

In this sentence, the shoes are the subject, 'look' is the linking verb and 'expensive' is the predicate adjective.

The predicate adjective modified the subject.

In the given sentence,

'Five' is a common noun, 'cookies' is the subject, 'are' is the helping verb, 'on' is the preposition, 'the' is an article and 'table' is a countable noun.

Hence, there is no linking verb and therefore, this sentence has no predicate adjective.


Answer:

There is not a predicate adjective in this sentence

Explanation:

A predicate adjective modify's the noun, basically tell you what the noun is up to..what is it doing or being.  Break down: Five is an adjective but it is not telling you what the noun (Cookies is doing or being) Are is a linking verb ,  On is a preposition The is an article and Table  is a noun. So nothing in the sentence tells you with the noun cookie or table is doing or being, hence no predicate adjective is present.
