A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, but it follows a linking verb in a sentence. A list of linking verbs is given below. These verbs are linking verbs only if they are followed by adjectives, nouns, or pronouns that rename the subject.
Linking Verbs
is, become, seem, grow, turn, prove, look, feel, sound, smell, taste, appear, remain, keep and stay.
Examples:
This cake is GOOD. (good cake)
Her hair looks so SHINY. (shiny hair)
Sarah looks OLDER with makeup.
The children remained CALM.
You are UNREASONABLE.
You are PATIENT today.
Babette grew TIRED of waiting.
I grew WEARY from the complaints.
Robert seems CHEERFUL today.
The gumbo tasted GREAT.
That idea sounds WONDERFUL.
The roses smelled FRAGRANT.
We remained CALM.
The weather will turn COLD this evening.
There are four forms of adjectives: attributive, predicative, absolute, and nominal
A predicate noun (more correctly called a predicative noun) is a type of complement. The complement element of a clause adds meaning to that of another clause element - either the subject (the subject complement), or the object (the object complement). A subject complement (Cs) renames the subject, for example in 'John is an accountant', 'John' is the subject and 'an accountant' is a subject complement (predicative noun). An object complement (Co) renames the object, for example in 'I find your children angels', 'children' is the object and 'angels' is an object complement (predicative noun). Be careful to avoid confusing 'predicative nouns' with 'predicative adjectives' - the latter describes rather than renames the subject or object. In the above examples if you replace 'an accountant' and 'angels' with 'fat' and 'charming' respectively, these would be predicative adjectives.

Most adjectives occur in two positions: before a noun and after a linking verb. The black coat is mine. My coat is black. Attributive adjectives, however, only occur before a noun. His elder brother is here. His brother is elder. I saw a drunken sailor. He was drunken. Thus, elder and drunken are attributive adjectives. Predicative adjectives, on the other hand, only occur after linking verbs. The snake was alive. I saw an alive snake. The adjective alive is a predicative adjective.
Predicative possessive pronouns are those who are used without the noun and instead of the noun to which they refer : Whose coat is this ? It is mine (my coat).
of Predicate
The word 'fond' is an adjective. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb. Like many adjectives, 'fond' can be converted into an adverb by adding 'ly' to make 'fondly'. Examples: "I have fond memories of my youth." ('fond' used as an attributive adjective) "I am fond of you." ('fond' used as a predicative adjective)
