"Predicate pronouns"!!! They are taking the place of nouns.

[Leandro-Z]

Aren`t they "possessive pronuons"?

Predicate pronoun refers to the agent of a sentence:

John do likes ice-cream. He is fascinated with banana split.

No.
'He' is not a predicate pronoun, since it's not part of a predicate.

[Frank Antonson]

I was making up the term "predicate pronoun" but predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives complete the subject but fall within the predicate. They are the two types of subject complements -- even though they have "predicate" in their names. "His" and "mine" are possessive pronouns. "His" and "my" are possessive adjectives. Yes "his" can be either, depending on its use. Even though "my" is a possessive adjective, it is still a pronoun. Confusing, isn't

These are American terms.
