What type of nouns can be perceived by five senses?

Nouns that can be perceived by five senses are called concrete nouns. These nouns refer to things that have a physical presence and can be experienced through sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.

Here's a breakdown:

* Sight: Objects (chair, table, book), animals (cat, dog, bird), plants (tree, flower, grass), colors (red, blue, green), shapes (circle, square, triangle).

* Touch: Textures (rough, smooth, soft), temperatures (hot, cold, warm), shapes (round, flat, pointy), weights (heavy, light).

* Taste: Foods (apple, chocolate, pizza), drinks (water, juice, coffee), flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter).

* Smell: Fragrances (perfume, flowers, chocolate), odors (smoke, garbage, rotten food).

* Hearing: Sounds (music, birdsong, laughter, thunder), noises (sirens, traffic, footsteps).

Examples of concrete nouns perceived by multiple senses:

* Cake: Sight (appearance), Touch (texture), Taste (flavor), Smell (aroma).

* Water: Sight (appearance), Touch (temperature), Taste (flavor), Hearing (sound of waves).

* Fire: Sight (flames), Touch (heat), Smell (smoke), Hearing (crackling).

Important Note: Abstract nouns (ideas, emotions, concepts) cannot be perceived by the senses.
