The lesson only went over attributive adjectives.
Predicate adjectives agree with the relevant noun in gender and number, and are in the nominative case, unless the subject is unspecified (as in some infinitive phrases), in which case the adjective takes the (masculine/neuter) instrumental form (for example, być mądrym, "to be wise", although the nominative is used if the logical subject is specified). The instrumental is also used for adjectival complements of some other verbs, as in czynić go mądrym ("make him wise").

Also, I would have thought that stary should be replaced by stare, as krzesło is neuter gender.

No idea, honestly. Maybe a native will stop by and help out.

Just for clarity, which two versions of FYP do you have?
