predicate nominative?

Jn 1:14 και ο λογος σα?ξ εγενετο...
I would have thought that σα?ξ would be in the accusative case, σα?κα. Is this because the verb γινομαι takes a predicate nominative(pn)? Assuming the answer is yes... Is this because one of the meanings of γινομαι is "I am"? What other verbs besides ειμι take a pn and does a lexicon indicate if a verb does so? If a verb takes a pn in one tense will it do so in all tenses?
Thanks.
