I was wondering if these sentences are labeled right with either predicate noun or predicate adjective?

Their presence was necessary in the far north country in the early days. preicate noun

Now they are famous throughout the world. predicate noun

They are the subject of many stories. predicate noun

Mounties have become an important part of Canadian life. predicate noun

The first two are wrong.

To determine whether the sentences are labeled correctly with either predicate noun or predicate adjective, we need to understand the difference between the two.

A predicate noun (also known as a predicate nominative) is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and refers to the subject of the sentence. It renames or identifies the subject.

A predicate adjective, on the other hand, is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence.

Now let's analyze each sentence:

1. "Their presence was necessary in the far north country in the early days."
In this sentence, "presence" is the subject of the linking verb "was" and refers to or identifies "their." Since "presence" is a noun, the sentence is correctly labeled with "predicate noun."

2. "Now they are famous throughout the world."
In this sentence, "they" is the subject of the linking verb "are." However, there is no noun or pronoun following the linking verb that refers to or identifies "they." Instead, the word "famous" is describing or modifying "they." Therefore, the sentence should be labeled with "predicate adjective."

3. "They are the subject of many stories."
In this sentence, "they" is the subject of the linking verb "are." Again, there is no noun or pronoun following the linking verb that refers to or identifies "they." Instead, it is stated that "they" are the subject of many stories, which describes or explains the subject. Therefore, the sentence should be labeled with "predicate adjective."

4. "Mounties have become an important part of Canadian life."
In this sentence, "Mounties" is the subject of the verb "have become." There is no noun or pronoun that follows the verb and refers to "Mounties." Instead, it is stated that Mounties have become an important part of Canadian life, which describes the subject. So, the sentence should be labeled with "predicate adjective."

To summarize, the correct labels for the sentences would be:

1. Their presence was necessary in the far north country in the early days.
Label: predicate noun

2. Now they are famous throughout the world.
Label: predicate adjective

3. They are the subject of many stories.
Label: predicate adjective

4. Mounties have become an important part of Canadian life.
Label: predicate adjective

Actually, the labels you provided for the sentences are not correct. Let me correct them for you:

1. "Their presence was necessary in the far north country in the early days." In this sentence, the phrase "necessary in the far north country in the early days" is the predicate adjective modifying the subject "their presence."

2. "Now they are famous throughout the world." Here, the word "famous" is the predicate adjective describing the subject "they."

3. "They are the subject of many stories." In this sentence, the phrase "the subject of many stories" is the predicate noun renaming the subject "they."

4. "Mounties have become an important part of Canadian life." In this sentence, the phrase "an important part of Canadian life" is the predicate noun renaming the subject "Mounties."

To summarize:

- The first two sentences have predicate adjectives.
- The third and fourth sentences have predicate nouns.
