To determine which sentence includes a predicate pronoun, we need to understand what a predicate pronoun is. A predicate pronoun is a pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or defines the subject.
In this case, let's analyze the sentences:
1. Justin and Meg are the winners of the contest.
- This sentence does not include a predicate pronoun because the word "winners" is a noun, not a pronoun.
2. The winners of the contest are they.
- This sentence includes a predicate pronoun because the word "they" is a pronoun that renames the subject "winners."
3. The winners of the contest are Justin and Meg.
- Similar to the first sentence, this sentence does not include a predicate pronoun because "Justin and Meg" is a noun phrase, not a pronoun.
4. The winners of the contest are excited.
- This sentence also does not include a predicate pronoun because "excited" is an adjective that describes the subject "winners," not a pronoun.
Therefore, the sentence that includes a predicate pronoun is: "The winners of the contest are they."
No.
A pronoun (I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, that, they, each, few, many, who, whoever, whose, someone, everybody, etc.) is a word that takes the place of a noun.
