● When making a nominal sentence, observe these three basic rules for the subject and predicate:

2. grammatical case: the subject and predicate are always nominative.
3. gender and number: the subject and predicate fully agree. A masculine subject takes a masculine predicate, and a singular subject takes a singular predicate.
