Remember the nouns can be concrete or abstract.
Now concrete nouns are tangible and you can experience them with your five senses.
Whereas abstract nouns refer to intangible things such as actions feelings ideals concepts and qualities.
Have a look at the example over here.
Food is great but love is even greater.
Note that the noun food in the sentence is a concrete noun as it refers to a tangible thing and love
is an abstract down because it refers to something that is intangible feeling
now.
Abstract nouns fall into several categories.
Let's have a look at those a emotions and feelings such as anger sadness love grief etc. Be human qualities
and characteristics such as beauty maturity humor patience etc.
see ideas and concepts such as knowledge freedom luxury comfort etc. These events for example marriage

Now many abstract nouns are formed from adjectives verbs or nouns and sometimes you can add a suffix
to the concrete noun or alter the word root to form abstract nouns.
In the example below child is a concrete noun whereas childhood is an abstract noun and remember the
nouns with the following suffix are often abstract.

Te hospitality meant movement nuts as in restlessness age as in marriage ends in brilliance ends is
