Guardian of the Galaxy 1,438 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Noun is a part of speech. Parts of speech are categories by which every single word in the English language falls into (e.g., noun, adjective, verb). You might be getting confused because an appositive phrase is a type of noun phrase, which is a phrase that plays the role of a noun by describing a person, place or thing. This time, rather than being a singular word, it is a phrase, or a group of words. In particular, it is a phrase that modifies, describes or further specifies another noun or noun phrase.
