Excuse me: What is a predicative? Is the predicative in French the same as that in English?

predicative

It is a grammatical noun, which refers to a word or clause that explains the identity, nature, character, characteristics and state of the subject. Predicates are usually served by nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, gerunds, infinitives and clauses, and are usually located after conjunctions. If the predicative of a sentence is also acted by a sentence, then the sentence acting as predicative is called predicative clause.

Predicates in French are the same as those in English.

French predicate grammar has two common structures:

Subject predicate: noun phrase (subject) with ten verbs and ten adjectives/nouns/noun phrases (predicate);

Object predicate sentence: noun phrase (subject) ten verbs ten noun phrases (object) ten adjectives/nouns/noun phrases (predicate sentence).

In the first structure, there are usually "être", "devenir" and "rester" as verbs, which are similar to "be" in English.

Verb, become; ; For example: Elle est

professor

(noun as predicative); Elle deviation

add

Beauty (adjective as predicative)

In the second structure, words like trouver are usually used as verbs, similar to English find;; For example: Il

trouve

Predicates describe the identity, nature, character, characteristics and state of the subject. The predicate is located after the copula and closely related to the copula. There is a predicate when there is a copula, and there is a copula when there is a predicate.

It is usually acted by nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, infinitives, gerunds and clauses. If the predicate of a sentence is also acted by a sentence, then the sentence that acts as a predicate is called a predicate sentence, and the predicate is one of the sentence components that play an expressive role.
