Welcome to this tutorial.

00:02.700 --> 00:07.050
Today we're going to talk about abstract nouns.

00:07.080 --> 00:08.550
Let's get started.

00:09.840 --> 00:14.630
Remember the nouns can be concrete or abstract.

00:14.730 --> 00:21.240
Now concrete nouns are tangible and you can experience them with your five senses.

00:21.240 --> 00:32.910
Whereas abstract nouns refer to intangible things such as actions feelings ideals concepts and qualities.

00:32.910 --> 00:36.180
Have a look at the example over here.

00:36.180 --> 00:40.920
Food is great but love is even greater.

00:40.920 --> 00:50.700
Note that the noun food in the sentence is a concrete noun as it refers to a tangible thing and love

00:51.150 --> 00:58.410
is an abstract down because it refers to something that is intangible feeling

01:01.900 --> 01:02.320
now.

01:02.350 --> 01:06.310
Abstract nouns fall into several categories.

01:06.340 --> 01:23.190
Let's have a look at those a emotions and feelings such as anger sadness love grief etc. Be human qualities

01:23.190 --> 01:30.470
and characteristics such as beauty maturity humor patience etc.

01:33.250 --> 01:47.730
see ideas and concepts such as knowledge freedom luxury comfort etc. These events for example marriage

01:48.150 --> 01:51.510
birthday career adventure etc.

01:55.060 --> 02:04.480
Now many abstract nouns are formed from adjectives verbs or nouns and sometimes you can add a suffix

02:04.510 --> 02:11.090
to the concrete noun or alter the word root to form abstract nouns.

02:11.140 --> 02:24.120
In the example below child is a concrete noun whereas childhood is an abstract noun and remember the

02:24.120 --> 02:29.080
nouns with the following suffix are often abstract.

02:29.180 --> 02:35.020
Shin is in devotion is an in pessimism.

02:35.600 --> 02:53.530
