Where is the changing nouns to abstract noun?

Answer 1

A concrete noun is a word for something physical; a word something that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched.

An abstract noun is a word for something that is not physical; a word for something that is known, learned, thought, understood, or felt emotionally.

Examples of concrete nouns are:

• apple
• boy
• chair
• doughnut
• egg
• frog

Examples of abstract nouns are:

• greed
• hope
• ignorance
• justice
• knowledge
• life

Some nouns can be concrete or abstract depending on their definition, for example:

• The noun licence is a tangible written document or a plate attached to a vehicle, and therefore a concrete noun.
• The noun licence also means permission and is therefore an abstract noun.

• The noun football is an abstract noun as a word for the game or the sport, a word for the sum total of rules, teams, space, and equipment used to play the game. The game of football is a concept.
• The noun football is a concrete noun as a word for the ball used to play the game.

A concrete noun is sometimes used as an abstract noun, for example:

• I have a nice bone to make some soup.
• The bone of contention is the cost of the plan.
• I walked down the road to the Smith's house.
• He took the first step on his road to ruin when he discovered the casino.
• Our sun is the closest star to the planet Earth.
• She was the star of the show.
