No, not all predicates contain nouns. A predicate is a verb and all the words that follow that relate to that verb. A direct or an indirect object of a verb can be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective. A verb may have no object all, the predicate can be just the verb. Examples (complete predicate in italics):

No object: Yes, I can imagine.

Noun object: I did have lunch.

Pronoun object: I will call you.

Adjective object: Your sweater looks warm.

What part of speech must be recognize first before you can identify adverbs and adjectives?

Nouns and verbs should be identified first, because adjectives modify nouns, and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. If a choice between nouns and verbs is desired, verbs should be identified first of all, because some correct sentences, such as the single word "Go!" do not contain any other part of speech, and many more sentences do not contain nouns because pronouns are used instead of all the nouns that would normally be required. Every traditionally complete sentence, however, must contain an explicit verb.
