Noun?Suggestion

[kahhong]

Hello, this sentence "i want your suggestion"why we use suggestion instead of suggest?

Thank You

[Casiopea]

"suggest" is a verb, "suggestion" is a noun. The pronoun "your" takes a noun, not a verb. Moreover, every simple sentence must have only one finite verb. In our example sentence, "want" is that verb.

Thanks Besides pronoun "your" takes a noun, any others?

[Casiopea]

Every word has a form (what it looks like) and a function (what it does). The word "your" is a possessive pronoun in form and an adjective in function. Other possessive pronouns follow the same pattern:

my
your
its
her
his
their
our

Thank You, I have another question, When do you know you should use noun or verb in a sentence?

for an example:
Abstract Noun = Responsibility, Improvement
Verb = Responsible , Improve(s)

Warmest Regards,

English has SVO word order: subject + verb + object. The subject is first, the verb is next. Subjects are always nominal (nouns).

EX: The responsibility is his. <subject>
EX: I am responsible. <verb> Note, 'responsible' is an adjective.

EX: The improvements you made to your house are wonderful. <subject>
EX: Wine improves with time. <verb>
