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.
