Predicate Adjective: One type of subject complement- an adjective, group of adjective clause that follows a linking verb. It is the predicate of the sentence and modifies, or describes, the subject.
Example:
"He was most fifty, and he looked it. His hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. It was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed-up whiskers."
(Huckleberry Finn, Pg.19)
In this senctence the ajectives are "long", "tangled" and "greasy" to describe Pap. In this case those are the adjectives.
