Here's why:
* Abstract nouns represent concepts, qualities, or ideas that cannot be touched or seen. Examples include love, happiness, justice, and freedom.
* "Cry" is a verb that describes the act of making a loud, sharp sound, typically expressing pain, sorrow, or anger.
While the emotion behind a cry might be abstract (like sadness or joy), the act of crying itself is a physical, observable action.
To make "cry" an abstract noun, you could use it in a more conceptual way, like:
* "The cry of freedom echoed throughout the land."
* "Her cry for help went unanswered."
In these examples, "cry" represents a broader idea or concept, rather than the physical act of making a sound.
