Practice can be used as a noun, verb, or even an adjective.

"We went to practice." In that sentence, practice is used as a noun. More specifically, it is the object of the preposition. Any object is a noun.

"The practice was fun." In that sentence, practice is once again being used as a noun. However, this time it is the subject.

"Practice now." In that sentence, practice is a verb. There is no written subject, but the subject is an understood you. Now is an adverb answering when you are to practice.

"The team practiced for two hours and then the coach took them to Pizza." Practiced is once again being used as a verb, though in this sentence it is past tense. This time, though, there is a subject (team). This compound sentence may seem long and complicated, but it is easy to identify it if you break it into parts.

"We attended the practice session." In this case, practice is being used as an adjective. Adjectives describe nouns, giving more information. Practice is describing session, telling what kind of session it is.
