IMPORTANCE OF NOUN:
Nouns are the most essential. A noun is a word that
recognizes a man, creature, spot, thing, or thought.
Here, we’ll investigate what makes a noun a noun,
and we’ll give something samples, alongside some
guidance for utilizing things as a part of your
sentences.
Without nouns, you will be left with verbs, adjectives
and adverbs. The lack of nouns will eradicate any
subject or object from your sentence which is as
good as communication essentially nothing.
EXAMPLE:
Consider these two sentences. First with nouns and second without
nouns.
1. The ball rolled quickly down the steep hill.
2. Rolled quickly down
With nouns, sentences are given more clarity as Listeners would
know what is the object or thing and what is happening to that
object or thing in relation to the verb which is exerting an action.
The second sentence: rolled quickly down - that can refer to a
plethora of meanings and ambiguity. What is rolling down quickly?
From where is this mysterious object rolling down quickly? Could
the mysterious subject be a person? A ball? Something round?

buildings, monuments, rivers, natural disasters, books,
magazines, songs, etc.) are nouns.
Generally, the subject of sentence is the thing that comes
right before the verb in a sentence.
As an example: "The dog ate your shoe." The verb is “ate” so
“the dog” is the subject. This particular subject consists of an
article (the) and a noun (dog). There is another noun in the
sentence (shoe). 
If a word is described by an adjective, it’s probably a
noun. For example, car is a noun. A car could be
described as old, blue, shiny, hot, or wonderful,
which are all adjectives
Complement follow state-of-being verbs
like be, seem and become. Objects follow other verbs
as well as prepositions. 
In the sentence, "Amy is a teacher," the complement
is a teacher.
