You're welcome.
A noun in the predicate that is used as a description is called a "predicate nominative" or a "predicate noun."
To find the answer to this question, you can start by understanding the components of a sentence. A sentence is made up of a subject and a predicate. The subject typically refers to the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, while the predicate includes the verb and provides information about the subject.
In the case of a noun used as a description in the predicate, it will appear after a linking verb (e.g., "is," "became," "seemed") and provide additional information or describe the subject. This noun takes the form of a predicate nominative or predicate noun.
For example, in the sentence "She is a doctor," the noun phrase "a doctor" is describing the subject "she" and is acting as a predicate nominative.
By understanding the structure of sentences and recognizing the role of nouns in the predicate, you can identify and refer to a noun used as a description as a predicate nominative or predicate noun.
