The Abstract Noun Recognize an abstract noun when you encounter one.
Nouns name people, places, and things.
One class of nouns is abstract . Bravery , one of the nouns in this sentence, is an example of an abstract noun. You can see Joseph, the water, the crowd, but you cannot see bravery itself. Any noun that your five senses cannot experience is an abstract noun. Don't confuse an abstract noun with a concrete noun.
