kalimat, yaitu adjective yang muncul setelah linking verb seperti be.
Kata-kata ini tidak dapat diletakkan sebelum noun yang dijelaskan.
Perhatikan contoh berikut ini:
Eg : The snake on the rock was alive.
The alive* snake was lying on the rock.

setelah linking verb was. Kata tersebut berfungsi untuk menjelaskan
