🔍 Explanation:
Abstract nouns represent
ideas, emotions, qualities, or states of being that cannot be seen, touched, heard, tasted, or smelled directly. In contrast, concrete nouns refer to tangible objects (like "cake," "eyes," "report card").
In this worksheet, we identified words like *love*, *hope*, *justice*, and *friendship* as abstract because they describe feelings or concepts rather than physical things.
