Welcome to this tutorial.

00:02.760 --> 00:06.570
Today we're going to talk about concrete nouns.

00:06.570 --> 00:07.890
Let's get started.

00:10.200 --> 00:14.200
Nouns can be concrete or abstract.

00:14.370 --> 00:21.680
Now concrete nouns are tangible and you can experience them with your five senses.

00:21.840 --> 00:31.920
On the other hand abstract nouns refer to intangible things like actions feelings ideals concepts and

00:31.920 --> 00:33.270
qualities.

00:34.210 --> 00:37.580
Have a look at the example over here.

00:37.750 --> 00:43.090
Food is great but love is even greater.

00:43.090 --> 00:51.910
Note the dino food in this sentence is a concrete noun because food is tangible and you can experience

00:51.910 --> 00:55.900
it with your five senses love.

00:56.000 --> 01:04.340
On the other hand it's an abstract noun because it refers to something that is intangible feeling

01:07.110 --> 01:16.530
now a concrete noun is a noun that can be identified through one of the five senses touch sight hearing

01:16.800 --> 01:19.680
smell or taste.

01:19.710 --> 01:23.170
Have a look at the following examples.

01:23.170 --> 01:26.070
Who turned off the TV.

01:26.080 --> 01:33.400
Note that the now TV in the sentence is a concrete noun and in the sentence.

01:33.580 --> 01:35.770
What is that noise.

01:35.770 --> 01:40.270
Note that even though noise can't be touched you can hear it.

01:40.780 --> 01:49.480
So it's a concrete noun now concrete nouns fall into several categories.

01:49.500 --> 01:52.160
Let's have a look at those categories.
