The noun 'present' is a singular common noun.

The noun 'present' is a concrete noun as a word for a gift.

The noun 'present' is an abstract noun as a word for the period of time now occurring.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

EXAMPLES

subject: The present from my staff was totally unexpected.

object: My son attends the community college at the present.

The word present is also a verb and an adjective.
