2.2.1 Noun
A noun is a word which is used to represent a person, place, quality, thing, action, idea, occurrence, and can function as the subject of a sentence or as the object
of verb, or the object of preposition, or as an appositive. Noun refers to person, place, or thing Hatch and Brown, 1995: 219. Harmer 2004:37 defines a noun as a word
or group of words that is the name of a person, a place, a thing or activity or a quality or idea. From the two statements, it can be concluded that a noun is a word
that represents a person, a place, or a thing. Hatch and Brown 1995:219 say that nouns can be divided into subclasses. They are as follows proper nouns, common
nouns, abstract nouns, concrete nouns, count nouns, mass nouns, and group nouns. This research focused on proper nouns, common nouns, and concrete nouns.
These kinds of nouns were chosen because they have been used as the teaching material of vocabulary and they were also suitable to be used as the teaching material
of vocabulary by using Pelmanism game for the eighth grade students at SMPN 5 Jember.
2.2.2 Verb
A verb is a word or a group of words which is used to express an action. Hatch and Brown 1995: 222 define verbs as words that denote action. Further,
Harmer 2004: 38 says that there are three important types of verb to be aware of. They are as follows: auxiliary verbs be, do, and have and the modal auxiliary verbs
shall-should, will-would, can-could, may-might, must or ought.; main verbs arrive, say, see, believe, tell, shout, laugh, pour, fell, etc.; phrasal verbs run over, look
over, put off, take after, get away, etc.. From the three types of verbs mentioned above, the researcher decided to
focus on the main verbs as the teaching material of vocabulary since they were suitable to be used as the teaching material of vocabulary by using Pelmanism game
for the eighth grade students at SMPN 5 Jember.
