Concrete nouns and abstract nouns
Concrete nouns refer to definite objects which you use at least one of
your senses to observe. For instance, "chair", "apple", or "Janet".
Abstract nouns on the other hand refer to ideas or concepts, such as
"justice" or "hate". While this distinction is sometimes useful, the
boundary between the two of them is not always clear; consider, for
example, the noun "art". In English, many abstract nouns are formed by
adding noun-forming suffixes ("-ness", "-ity", "-tion") to adjectives or
verbs. Examples are "happiness", "circulation" and "serenity".
