About this resource
This quiz focuses on predicate nominatives, a fundamental grammar concept in English language arts appropriate for grades 5-7. Students must demonstrate their understanding of how predicate nominatives function as nouns or pronouns that follow linking verbs and rename or identify the subject of a sentence. The questions systematically build from basic definitional knowledge—such as recognizing that predicate nominatives follow linking verbs rather than action verbs—to more complex application skills like identifying predicate nominatives in sentences with prepositional phrases, compound structures, and interrogative forms. Students need to distinguish between subjects, linking verbs, and predicate nominatives, while also recognizing that predicate nominatives can appear in compound form and that they specifically complete linking verbs to create a relationship of equivalence with the subject. Created by Suraj J, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 5 and 7. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student mastery of sentence structure and grammar analysis. Teachers can effectively use this as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing more complex sentence patterns, as guided practice during direct instruction on sentence components, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning about predicate nominatives. The varied question formats, including identification tasks, true/false statements, and compound predicate nominative examples, make this quiz ideal for review sessions before unit assessments or as a diagnostic tool to identify students who need additional support with grammar concepts. The content aligns with Common Core standards L.5.1, L.6.1, and L.7.1, which require students to demonstrate command of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.
