What is a Concrete Noun?
A concrete noun is a noun that refers to something
you can experience with your five senses — sight, hearing, smell, taste,
or touch.
If you can see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or touch
it, it’s a concrete noun.
Concrete nouns name physical things — things that exist
in the real world and are not just ideas or feelings.
