* Concrete nouns: These are nouns that refer to physical things that can be touched, seen, heard, smelled, or tasted.
* Examples: *table, book, flower, water, music*
* Abstract nouns: These are nouns that refer to concepts, ideas, qualities, or states of being that cannot be touched.
* Examples: *love, happiness, freedom, justice, sadness*
Here's how to identify a substantive noun:
1. Ask yourself: "Does this word refer to something that exists?" If the answer is yes, it's likely a substantive noun.
2. Consider whether you can touch, see, or experience the thing the word refers to. If you can, it's a concrete noun. If not, it's an abstract noun.
Examples of Substantive Nouns:
* Concrete: *sun, cloud, mountain, car, phone*
* Abstract: *anger, knowledge, beauty, time, peace*
Key Points:
* Substantive nouns are the core of sentences, serving as subjects and objects.
* They can be singular or plural, depending on the thing they refer to.
* They are often accompanied by adjectives or other modifiers to provide further information.
