When you follow the formula, predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives are not hard to identify. Break each sentence into parts. First, mark out all prep. phrases. Then, identify your subject and make sure you have a linking verb. If you have an action verb, there will not be a PN. Try to do the other 11 on your own.
