subject predicative

subject predicative (subjektspredikativ): a clause element that comes in addition to a subject and a copular (two-place) verb. A subject predicative is normally placed after the copular verb. E.g. She is happy. He felt a fool. The soup tastes nice. The school became famous for its achievements in sports. They are students. They seem a happy crowd. A subject predicative is realized by an adjective phrase or a noun phrase (as shown above), or by a nominal subordinate clause. E.g. The problem is finding the right person. The question is how to find the right person . The fact is that I overslept. What you see is what you get.
