Step4: Learning about predicates in grammar Example”: "George III is the king of England”

The king of England being the Predicate Nominal.

The subject and predicate nominal must be connected by a linking verb, also called a copula.

Step5: Revising useful structures You are going to read the text on page 12 SAILING THE OCEANS to underline all the predicates to understand their structures and functions. James Cook (October 27, 1728 (O.S.) –

February 14, 1779) was a British explorer, navigator, and map maker. He made three voyages to the Pacific Ocean, during which large areas were accurately charted, and several islands and coastlines recorded for the first time on European maps. His most notable accomplishments were the British discovery and claiming of the east coast of Australia, the European discovery of the Hawaiian Islands, and the first

circumnavigation and mapping of New Zealand.

Step6: Now you may go on to do the two structure exercises on page 16 and 17.
