Nouns

A concrete noun is something you can see, touch, hear, smell, or taste — it exists physically. An abstract noun is something that exists only as an idea, feeling, or concept that you cannot experience with your five senses.

A collective noun names a group of people, animals, or things as a single unit. Many collective nouns are specific to a particular animal or type of group, making them interesting to learn.
