Concrete and Abstract Noun | Part 3

Hello Friends, My name is Nihir Mandowara. And welcome to the third part in the series of tutorial of learning Grammar.
Please take a pen or pencil and a book. If you find anything new, please write in it. You will learn quick doing it.
Pause the video and rewind it, if you don’t get any concept.
To get most out of this video, please watch it till the end.
Okay, So, lets get started

Firstly, we will Remember what we have learnt already.
In the first video, we discussed about Nouns and there two classifications namely
Proper Noun and Common Noun
Collective Noun

Then in the 2nd Grammar Lesson, we discussed about the 3rd category of Nouns.,
3. Countable Noun and Uncountable Nouns. If you haven’t watched those video, I would highly recommend you to watch those videos first.
I have give the links in the description.
Now lets look into the last category of Nouns.
Concrete Nouns and Abstract Nouns

Concrete Nouns are
Noun that can be identified from one of our five senses. Now what are our five senses,
We Touch through our Handes, We Taste through tongue, We Hear through our ears, We See through our eyes, We  Smell through our nose
Concrete nouns can be:
Proper nouns
Common nouns
Collective nouns
Countable and uncountable nouns

Lets see Examples to make things clear. Compare the examples with any of our five senses
Touch, smell, hear, see, taste
Example:
Everyone like a Puupy Right?
You can touch, see, hear its barking and smell its odour.
I love Pizza, I am sure all also will be.
You can touch, see, taste and smell a pizza
And yes, no one wants to hear Noise. Here, you are using your ears as a sense.
So, a Puppy, a Pizza and Noise all three comes in the category of Concrete Nouns

Basically these Nouns, defines 3 things
Idea,Quality  and State of mind
Let me give you examples of each of them
Idea => When you are sleeping and any Dream comes to your mind, whats that, its an abstract term. You can not see, smell, hear, taste or touch your Dream.
Quality => You might be having quality of being very Kind. It denotes that your are a good person. But you cannot use your five senses for
Understanding that.
State => It defines your state of mind, here in the image the girls seems very “Happy”. See, here also you can not use your five senses to get the State of Girl. Basically they are feelings that any person has.

1. Rohit is very intelligent Boy.
Here, intelligence define the quality of Rohit, so ita an abstract Noun

2. Our friendship will last foreever
Here, freindhip defines the relationship between us, so its an abstarct Noun

3. It is my pleasure to welcome you all.

What we Learned in this video,
Concrete Nouns => Things you can see, smell, touch, taste or hear

Abstract Nouns => Things that defines an Idea, Quality or State of Mind

So, now we have covered all catgories of Nouns
