Oh dear. Well:

adjective: a word used for describing a noun or pronoun. The word “big” in “a big house” is an adjective.

noun: a word or group of words used for referring to a person, thing, place, or quality. “Mother,” “rope,” “California,” and “peace of mind” are all nouns.

verb: a type of word or phrase that shows an action or a state, for example “run” and “remain”.

Here is a sentence with those word classes marked:

One (A) day (N) I went (V) to the supermarket (N) to buy (V) some (A) milk (N), but I forgot (V) to bring (V) my wallet (N).

louiST'some' is definitely not an adjective!

It can be in Anglo-Saxon grammar! This quotation is from an American dictionary:

some, adj.
1. being an undetermined or unspecified one: Some person may object.
2. (used with plural nouns) certain: Some days I stay home.
3. of a certain unspecified number, amount, degree, etc.: to some extent.
4. unspecified but considerable in number, amount, degree, etc.: We talked for some time. He was here some weeks.
5. Informal. of impressive or remarkable quality, consequence, extent, etc.: That was some storm.
–****.
6. certain persons, individuals, instances, etc., not specified: Some think he is dead.
7. an unspecified number, amount, etc., as distinguished from the rest or in addition: He paid a thousand dollars and then some.
–adv.
8. (used with numerals and with words expressing degree, extent, etc.) approximately; about: Some 300 were present.
9. Informal. to some degree or extent; somewhat: I like baseball some. She is feeling some better today.
10. Informal. to a great degree or extent; considerably: That's going some.
