That is he, the famous hockey player who scored several goals in the Stanley Cup Final.
In this sentence, “he” is a(n)
1. Nominative pronoun
2. Objective pronoun
3. Predicate nominative
4. Possessive pronoun
5. Adjective
It's not 1, but I'm not sure if it's maybe 2?
Sorry, I don't really understand.
Would it be predicate nominatives then?
For the pronoun "he" —
nominative (subject) = he
objective (any kind of object) = him
possessive = his
Then think about placement in the sentence:
subject — active verb — (indirect object) — direct object
or
subject — linking verb — predicate noun or adjective
(and any prepositional phrases that may be thrown in)
Hint: It's not 2.
What is the main verb in that sentence? Active or linking?
If it's an active verb, what comes after it?
If it's a linking verb, what comes after it? (Another hint: not an object!)

Yes, predicate nominative.

Thank you so much for all your help with everything! :)
You're very welcome!!
To determine the correct answer, let's first understand the options given:
1. Nominative pronoun: These pronouns typically function as the subject of a sentence or clause.
2. Objective pronoun: These pronouns usually function as the direct or indirect object of a verb or as the object of a preposition.
3. Predicate nominative: This is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject.
4. Possessive pronoun: These pronouns show ownership or possession.
5. Adjective: Adjectives describe or modify nouns.
In the sentence, "he" is being referred to as "the famous hockey player who scored several goals in the Stanley Cup Final."
Since "he" is functioning as the subject of the clause, it does not fit the definition of an objective pronoun (option 2).
Instead, "he" is being renamed or identified as the famous hockey player, making it a predicate nominative (option 3).
Therefore, the correct answer is 3. Predicate nominative.
