So there’s a lot of grammar lessons available online. But if you’re like me, and incessantly correct people’s grammatical errors, sometimes you might be at a loss for the right terms in a sentence.
And worse, there might just be someone smarter than you (or me) out there who really knows what figure of speech might is in this sentence.
It is really disturbing when you’re raising beer mugs Friday night, cheering to another slothful weekend, and after another swig of the almighty Smithwicks, S says, “This beer is greatest.”
“Tch, tch,” you say, “the greatest.”
“Why?”
“Because.”
“But why?”
“Because. Period.”
And then the not-so-cute guy at the other table leans in and says, “Because there’s always a definite article before a superlative, and in this case, the predicate nominative – which is the superlative – should have the preceding it.”
“Uhm, thank you. Who are you?”… “Wait, I don’t care. What’s a predicate whatever!?!?!”
Hell, just for those time, I thought it might be useful to have a glossary of complicated grammatical terms, easily explained.
Here’s Predicate Nominative, for starts..And you can find ‘em all HERE.
Go, wow ‘em girl!
