Hello: This lesson clarified so many things for me concerning predicate nominatives and adjectives. However I seem to recall hearing once that were types that involved concepts as opposed to people. Like in this sentence: " His religious beliefs are different from most." Is this considered a predicate adjective? If this sentence is not do you have an example of what I am referring to if this type of pred.adj. does exist?
This is a predicate adjective. "Different from most" describes or modifies "religious beliefs."
♥️👍🏻
So good
Thank you. 😊
In the example 'Many dogs wear collars', is collars the complement? and is many a modifier?
That is correct. Collars is the direct object and a verb complement and many is modifying dogs. 😊
Mam you are so sweet, love from Bangladesh
It was a thrilling experience. Which part of speech is ‘thrilling’ here?
It's a present participle acting as an adjective.

She is in the park. ...in this sentence "in the park is what?
It's a prepositional phrase modifying the subject, so it's a predicate adjective but since it also shows location, you could argue it's acting as an adverbial.
