The noun nonverbal predicate It is one that lacks a verb and whose nucleus can be an adjective or a noun. For example: Class, too boring. (its nucleus is an adjective) / The play, a disaster. (its core is a noun)
In syntax, the predicate is the segment within the sentence that names the action carried out by the subject. Most of the time, the predicate is verbal, that is, it contains a conjugated verb. For example: House house it was huge.
In the non-verbal predicate, on the other hand, the verb is replaced by a comma and remains implicit: it can be easily inferred which verb is being ignored and the meaning of the sentence is understood despite not having a verb. For example: Home, huge.
