You didn't like the previous answers to the same question. Do you expect a different answer? https://www.italki.com/question/486422 There is one linking verb, "seems," and one subject complement, "skillfully drafted." Language often seems skillfully drafted. Language - subject often - adverb of frequency seems - linking verb skillyfully - adverb of manner drafted - past participle functioning as an adjective More information on linking verbs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_verb List of linking verbs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_copulae There are two definitions of predicates. Which are you using? More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate_(grammar)

"Drafted" is the past tense of the verb "to draft" (so it is a verb). To be honest, the sentence "language often seems skilfully drafted" is a strange sounding sentence; the meaning is unclear to me, but I think they're trying to say that language is skilfully put together/well thought out. Hope that helps :-)

"Redactado" es un verbo en su forma de participio. La forma de infinitivo es "redactar" Yo redacto Tú redactas él/ella redacta ... Las tras formas no personales de los verbos son: infinitivo, gerundio y participio.
