11. 4. Review: Linking Verb be and Predicate Adjective
When the verb be is used as the main verb, it is a linking verb. It links what comes after the verb to the subject.
When an adjective follows the linking verb, it describes the subject. It is called a predicate adjective.

He announces that he can make the boys do anything he wants.
He is trying to get the boys’ attention. He’s trying different methods to be included, even if they are negative.
