As a nerd I am, it has been found by Tyler Plack that he needs to live an interesting life and modify sentence structure to make little or no sense to most. Just read this dialogue:
“How are you?” asks person a.
“I’m good,” person b responds.
“How good are you?” person a sarcastically asks.
This really annoys me when someone tells me that I am wrong by saying “I am good”. It is correct to say “I am good,” because with this sentence there is an adjective for a subject complement (which is also a predicate adjective in this case). Next time someone asks you how you are, make sure to say that you’re good, and say it with confidence. If they tell you you’re wrong, explain to them how saying “I am good,” is a textbook example of a predicate adjective. According to Diana Hacker’s Rules for Writers: 6th Edition, “Use adjectives, not adverbs, as subject complements”. I feel that justifies my point.
I promise this is my last grammar-related post for a while.
