Understanding Nominal Predicate

In this video, Professor Laércio explains the concept of 'predicado nominal' in Portuguese grammar. He describes it as a term that indicates the state of the subject, formed by a linking verb and a predicate. The video provides three examples to illustrate this concept: 'aquelas casas eram valiosas', 'o cachorro parece um lobo', and 'a Maria é linda'. Each example is broken down to identify the subject, linking verb, and predicate. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and follow on Instagram for more grammar tips.
