A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Concrete nouns
name items that can be experienced through one or more of the five senses, such
as a tree or a cloud. Abstract nouns, on the other hand, refer to ideas, qualities,
emotions, or concepts, such as goodness or fear. Abstract nouns cannot be
experienced through the senses.
DIRECTIONS: Identify each underlined noun as concrete or abstract.
