Question

A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and helps to modify or describe the subject, which is why we can also call a predicate adjective a subject complement.
A linking verb describes the subject's state of being or condition. It is not an action verb. One way to think of a linking verb is that it is a verb you could replace with "is" and still have the sentence make sense.
Examples of linking verbs:
He is an electrician.
Dinner smells good.
She appears tired.
Not linking verbs:
He smells the salt in the ocean air.
she appeared out of nowhere.
In "The view from the house is incredible," "incredible" is an adjective that describes the subject (The view) and follows the linking verb "is."
