These are sentences that have nominal (noun) predicates or some noun form in the predicate position. A beginning student would employ this sentence structure to offer information about one's occupation, nationality, or answer what-questions.
Below are some examples where the nominal predicate is underlined:
 | Titser si Mr. Ramos sa Science High School. (Mr. Ramos is a teacher at the Science High School.) |
 | Estudyante si Anna sa NIU. (Anna is a student at NIU.) |
 | Abogado ang babae. (The woman is a lawyer.) |
 | Amerikano ang lalaki. (The man is American.) |
 | Aleman sina Baldur at Eva. (Baldur and Eva are Germans.) |
 | Kartero siya. (She/He is a postman.) |
 | Empleyado sila sa bangko. (They are employees at the bank.) |
 | Bahay ko ito. (This is my house.) |
 | Kabayo niya ito. (This is her/his horse.) |
