It depends. A part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. For example:Books are made of ink, paper, and glue.

In this sentence, "books" is a noun, the subject of the sentence.Deborah waits patiently while Bridget books the tickets.

Therefore, if you plan to patch something, then it is a verb. If you are applying a patch, it is a noun. Additionally, the patch you are applying is in that statement the object of the sentence. Furthermore, if the patch is patching something, then the word is first the subject and then the predicate of the sentence, though subject, object, and predicate are not parts of speech, but rather, the three parts of a sentence. Parts of speechinclude nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, participles, conjunctions and interjections.

Get it? ;)
