Now, as you are familiar with the difference between Concrete nouns and Abstract nouns,
we will be revising 'Abstract Nouns' today to be more clear about the topic.

An Abstract Noun is the name of some state, quality, feeling or idea that we can only
think of or feel but cannot touch or see.

Words like heat ,beauty, truth ,love, anger, height are abstract nouns.

We can feel heat, but we cannot touch or see it.

What we touch or see is a hot object and not heat.

Similarly, we can think of love, but cannot see or touch love.

Time to do some exercises.

(The word "suffix', in Ex. 3, means a letter or a group of words added to the end of a word to change its meaning.)
