Concrete nouns are words for things that can be experienced by any of the five physical senses; they are words for things that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched.
Abstract nouns are words for things that can't be experienced by any of the five senses; they can't be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. Abstract nouns are things that are known, understood, believed, or felt emotionally.
