Nouns? Verbs? Adjectives? What is that?

I have to confess that I was a little bored and confused because I had some holes on my mind about nouns, adverbs, and adjectives, I still did not understand their definition very well. I was a little confused with their meaning, I think to learn those concepts is so difficult for me (I thought it). 

For this reason, I arrived at home and I have been asking myself about it and I thought I’d like to know the truth definition and the best form to lose that problematic on my mind was Google. I researched and found this information with example and an easy way to clarify the doubts about it.
