Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled
"Abstract Nouns".
🔍 What Are Abstract Nouns?
-
Concrete nouns are things you can
see, touch, taste, smell, or hear (e.g., dog, book, tree).
-
Abstract nouns are ideas, emotions, qualities, or concepts that
cannot be physically sensed (e.g., love, courage, happiness).
🎯 Task:
Circle
only the abstract noun in each sentence. If the underlined word is
abstract, circle it. If it’s
concrete, leave it unmarked.

Now let’s go through each sentence:

- "tear" here means
a drop of water from the eye (emotional), but it’s
