i need help so i may locate nouns in sentences. please help me.

Nouns name persons, places, things, and ideas.

Usually, a noun will make sense if you imagine a, an, or the before it.

For instance, in your previous sentences:

"An extreme climate may affect your communication effectiveness."

You could rewrite this sentence: The climate may affect the effectiveness of your communication.

"Poor grammar may result in miscommunication."

You could say: The grammar may result in the miscommunication of ideas.
