NOT A TEACHER


1. He (pronoun) + is (linking verb) + a (adjective/determiner) + horrible (adjective) + thief (noun).

We say that "a horrible thief" refers to the subject "He."

"is" links "He" and "a horrible thief."

Some languages do not have linking verbs.

They just say:

He a horrible thief. (He = a horrible thief)

*****

2. They + are + hardworking + farmers.

(They = hardworking farmers.)

3. He + is + an + honest + mechanic.

(He = an honest mechanic.)


The above is only my opinion.

OK

you told me these are noun but they modify job of person so it should be adjective.

They don't modify the job, they name the job.
