4. Example? When Farley dove into the water to save April, his bravery amazed the Patterson family. Bravery , one of the nouns in this sentence, is an abstract noun. You can see Farley, the water, and the family. You cannot see bravery itself. It has no color, size, shape, sound, odor, flavor or texture. Any noun that escapes your five senses is an abstract noun.

5. Concrete Nouns Many nouns are concrete, not abstract. Concrete nouns register on your five senses . You can see them. You can hear them. You can smell them. You can taste them. You can touch them.

6. Example? John cuddled the English sheepdog puppy under his warm jacket. Puppy is an example of a concrete noun. You can see a puppy, stroke its fur, smell its breath, and listen to it whine. You can even taste the puppy if you don’t mind pulling dog hair off your tongue. Because a puppy will register on all five senses, puppy is a concrete noun.
