PRELIMINARY
A. Background
Parts of Speech in English means types of words or word classes. It is called parts of speech because it is parts of speech or parts of a sentence (remember, basically sentences in language are sentences that are spoken, not written down).
So, the words are the "basic ingredients" in a sentence "building", not the "function" of the word in the sentence. Why is that? Because a word can have several (more than one) functions in a sentence.
There are several types of Parts of speech, namely nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and so on. Each type has a different meaning and function.

DISCUSSION
A. Definition of Noun
Noun is a word used to name people, objects, animals, places, and abstract concepts. This English noun is one of the eight parts of speech. Apart from being simple (consisting of only one word) these English nouns may take the form of a phrase: noun phrase (thick book).
A noun phrase is a combination phrase between a noun (as the essence) and a modifier. Nouns may also collaborate with other parts of speech to form words with new meanings called compound nouns (waterfall, roadshow).
In a sentence, a noun can function as:
• Subject of a sentence (example sentence: Tommy has run the company since 1993.)
• subject / object complement (example sentence: She is a denstist.)
• direct / indirect object (example sentence: You hit the nail on the head.)
• object of a preposition (example sentence: She was walking on the street when she was attacked.)
1. Types and Examples of Nouns
Kinds and examples of nouns include the following:
• Countable and uncountable Noun: countable is a countable noun (tomato ~ tomatoes, man ~ men), on the other hand, uncountable cannot be counted (cheese, sugar).
• Proper and common nouns: proper is a specific classification of nouns which uses capital letters in the initial letters (Jakarta, Gramedia), while common in general (city, shop).
• Abstract and concrete noun: abstract is a noun that cannot be observed with the five senses (love, romance). In contrast, concrete can be observed with the five senses (book, fluorine).
• Collective noun: to state a group or group name (class, deer).
Noun Substitute
Noun substitute is a construction that functions like a noun. Some examples of sentences are as follows.
• Noun Clause: dependent clause that functions as a noun (The kitten followed wherever the woman went).
• Gerund: bare infinitive + ing (I hate waiting).
• Infinitive: to + bare infinitive (His dream is to win the competition).
2. Definition of Pronouns
Pronouns are words used to replace nouns (nouns) which can be people, objects, animals, places, or abstract concepts. This noun is one of the eight parts of speech.
