Here are two sites that are excellent explanations:

The easiest explanation is this example.
My brother, Tom, is a pest. <G>
Tom is the noun following the subject brother that identifies "brother". Pest is a noun after the "being verb" is... which is identical to brother.
A predicate noun is always after a LINKING VERB.
An appositive is always right after the noun that it identifies.
