Predicate nominative:
A second type of subject complement- a noun, group of nouns, or noun clause that renames the subject. It follows a linking verb and is located in the predicate

Example:
George Washington was elected the first president.

Explanation:
President is the predicate nominative in this example. There is no major purpose of this term, but mainly serves as a way to identify a subject
