An
Sir,
Water is an important for our lives.
As water is uncountable noun, we can't use a or an.
so why 'AN' before important.
Please explain it.
Sun is a proper noun . As proper noun start with capital letter, but have noticed the sentences like
The sun is shining. is this sentence correct?
or
The Sun is shining.
thanks.

Hi, hanuman2000,
This is incorrect. As you can see, important is an adjective. So you have to rewrite the sentence as "Water is important in our lives." or "Water plays an important role in our daily life."
This is a perfect sentence.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
