Language - Kinds of Nouns

There are three kinds of nouns:

Concrete nouns - these are things  that you can experience through your five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.

Ex.          The teacher is writing on the board with a chalk.

Abstract nouns - these are names of quality, action, or state. Abstract nouns refer to ideas that we can neither see or touch. 

Ex.          The wisdom shared to me was enlightening.

Collective nouns - these are names that represent a collection or a group of people, animals, or things.

Ex.          A bunch of bananas are on the counter.
