  9. Concrete vs. Abstract Nouns • A concrete noun is a noun that can be experienced with your five senses. You can touch, smell, see, hear or taste a concrete noun. • An abstract noun can not be experienced with your five senses. An abstract noun exists, but you cannot see it, taste it, smell it, touch it or hear it. Walsh Publishing Co. 2009

  10. Concrete Nouns • A concrete noun can be experienced with one or more of your five senses. • An orange is a concrete noun. You can see an orange, taste one, smell one, touch one. • A whistle is a concrete noun. You can hear it, see it, and touch it. Walsh Publishing Co. 2009

  12. Abstract Nouns Abstract nouns aren’t detected by your five senses. Honesty is an example of an abstract noun. What color is honesty? You don't know because you cannot see it. What texture is honesty? Who knows? You cannot touch it. What flavor is honesty? No clue! You cannot taste it! Does it make a sound? Of course not! Does it smell? Not a bit! Honesty is an abstract noun! Other abstract nouns: anger, peace, hate, pride, sympathy, bravery, success, courage, beauty, fun, loyalty pain, knowledge, trust, education, friendship, intelligence Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
