Example sentences for: predicative

How can you use “predicative” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Other examples are rosy-fingered, redcoat, high-potency (vitamin) , and, indeed, all such compounds that might be spelled as two words in predicative position but are usually written with a hyphen when in attributive position.
Good advice is given about hyphens and adverbs ending in -ly preceding adjectives: were I being pernickety, I should say that the word modifier is not necessarily applied only to words that precede a noun, and that the rules change when a modifier is in apositive or predicative position, as in a well-known man vs. a man well known for his generosity .
But the preferred American convention of writing as two words an adverb-adjective combination when the adverb ends in - ly is also violated: British practice calls for widely-spread, closelyrelated (which appear under Athapaskan ), while standard practice in the US would write these as two words, hyphenating only modifying adverbs not ending in - ly : well-known, well-thought-of, easygoing . (These rules change if the combination appears in predicative position.)
After all, the use of a hyphen in adverb/adjective compounds is a matter of style, which can be described in a rule: in position before a noun, compounds with well --indeed, any not ending in - ly --like well-heeled, well-known, well-thought-out , are hyphenated, as in well-heeled gambler, well-known man-about-town, a well-thought-out plan ; but when they are in predicative position, as in Is she well heeled enough to sit in on our game?
