Concrete or Abstract?



A concrete noun is something you can see, touch, hear, taste, smell, or feel. An abstract noun is something you cannot perceive with your senses.

DIRECTIONS: In the sentences below, circle the bold word if it’s a concrete noun. If it’s an abstract noun, write "abstract" in the blank.

1. I watched him with his baseball cap.
2. He was angry about the game.
3. I found the cup and put it on the table.
4. The whole episode consisted of drama.
5. He had been courageous when he saved the child.
6. We were always hopeful that we would win.
7. He was often distracted by his scientific calculations.
8. The room included two chairs.
9. He had to leave his job to take care of his family.
10. I saw people come into the park to play.
11. What is a physical world?
12. I believe to give the satisfaction of an apology.
13. He creatively continues to find solutions.

Now let’s go through each sentence and determine whether the bolded word is concrete (something you can perceive with your senses) or abstract (an idea, emotion, or quality).

---

Solutions & Explanations:



1. baseball cap
→ You can see, touch, and wear a baseball cap.
Concrete

2. angry
→ This is an emotion, not something you can touch or see directly.
Abstract

3. table
→ A physical object you can see and touch.
Concrete

4. drama
→ Refers to emotional intensity or conflict — an idea or feeling.
Abstract

5. courageous
→ This describes a quality or trait (bravery), not a physical thing.
Abstract

6. hopeful
→ An emotional state or attitude.
Abstract

7. scientific calculations
→ Calculations are mental processes, but they are often represented on paper or screens. However, "calculations" themselves are ideas.
Abstract

8. chairs
→ Physical objects you can sit on.
Concrete

9. family
→ While family consists of people (concrete), the word “family” here refers to the concept or relationship, not a physical object.
Abstract

10. people
→ Humans are physical beings — you can see and interact with them.
Concrete

11. physical
→ This is an adjective describing something tangible, but the word itself isn’t a noun. Wait — this might be a typo or mislabeling. The sentence says "What is a physical world?" — "physical" is an adjective, not a noun. But perhaps the intended focus is on "world"?
→ However, since the instruction says to circle the bold word, and "physical" is likely the bolded one, it's not a noun, so we need to check. But assuming the bolded word is "physical", which is an adjective, then it’s not a noun at all.
→ But if the intention was to assess "world", then:
- "World" can refer to Earth (concrete) or the universe/idea (abstract). But in context, "physical world" means the material universe — still, it's a concept.
→ So "physical" is an adjective, not a noun. But if the bolded word is "world", then:
- "World" as a physical place → Concrete
- But "the physical world" implies the tangible universe → Concrete
→ Likely Concrete if "world" is bolded.
⚠️ Clarification needed — but assuming "physical" is the bolded noun, it’s not a noun.
→ Let’s assume the bolded word is "world" Concrete

12. satisfaction
→ A feeling or emotional state.
Abstract

13. creatively
→ This is an adverb, modifying "continues." It's not a noun.
→ But again, if the bolded word is "creatively", it’s not a noun.
→ Perhaps the intended noun is "solutions"? But it's not bolded.
→ If "creatively" is the bolded word, it's not a noun, so cannot be classified as concrete or abstract.
→ But maybe the intended bolded noun is "solutions"? Then:
- "Solutions" are ideas or answers — Abstract
→ But since the sentence says "He creatively continues..." and the bolded word is likely "creatively", we have a problem.

Wait — rechecking: the last sentence is:
"He creatively continues to find solutions."

The bolded word is likely "creatively" — but that’s an adverb. So it's not a noun.

So either:
- There’s a mistake in the worksheet, or
- The bolded word is "solutions", which is a noun.

Let’s assume the bolded word is "solutions".

→ "Solutions" are ideas, not physical things.
Abstract

But if "creatively" is bolded, it's not a noun — so no classification applies.

| Sentence | Bold Word | Type | Explanation |

| 3 | table | Concrete | Physical object |
| 4 | drama | Abstract | Concept/emotional event |
| 5 | courageous | Abstract | Quality/trait |

| 7 | scientific calculations | Abstract | Mental concepts |
| 8 | chairs | Concrete | Physical furniture |
| 9 | family | Abstract | Concept of relationships |
| 10 | people | Concrete | Living beings |
| 11 | physical | ? | Adjective; not a noun — likely error |
| 12 | satisfaction | Abstract | Feeling/emotion |
| 13 | creatively | ? | Adverb — not a noun |

But if "solutions" is meant to be bolded in #13, then:
Abstract (ideas)
