Dear student
1. always look for priority group among the functional groups if there are more than 1 functional group in a molecule.
2. keep the most preffered functional group as suffix and least preferred functional group as prefix.
3. double and triple bonds are to be kept at suffix always but numbering should always be started from the ends near them.

following all such rules the names of both the compounds are:-
1. 3-aminopropanal
2. Pent-1-yne-3-one
