``Predicative adjectives`` are adjectives that describe nouns using a :ref:`linking verb<verb-linking-verbs>`.
Often the linking verb is not present in the Hebrew text and must be supplied when translating into English.
Like :ref:`attributive<adjective-attributive>` adjectives, a predicative adjective usually has the same form as the noun it
describes in both gender and number. Unlike attributive adjectives, however, a predicative
adjective can be indefinite even if it describes a :ref:`definite<definiteness>` noun.
