Existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence

So yes it can be used as so.

Would it be a lack of abstract or real words that shows the modernist tendency toward using concrete language I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox from This Is Just to Say by Williams?

The poem is "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. The poem is an apparent apology. The noun 'apology' is an abstract noun and an apology is an abstract idea, the word and the act are concepts.The author is using a concrete explanation (the physical absence of plums, the physical act of eating them, the physical properties of the plums as he ate them) to express the abstract idea (apology). The poem lacks abstract words.Note: There is one abstract noun in the poem:...saving for breakfast...The noun 'breakfast' is an abstract noun as a word for 'breaking one's fast' after abstinence throughout the night. The noun 'breakfast' is not the food itself, it is the occasion that the food is eaten, a concept.

How can you identify abstract nouns?

The only way to identify an abstract noun is to know the meaning of that noun.An abstract noun is a word for something that can't be experienced by any of the five physical senses; something that can't be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. An abstract noun is a word for something that is known, learned, thought, understood, or felt emotionally.A concrete noun is a word for something that can be experienced by any of the five physical senses; something that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched.How does the noun fit into one of these two categories? Your name or your friend's name is something that you know, that you understand; an abstract noun. But, you and your friend are people, physical beings, so when you use your name or your friend's name, John or Jane, they are concrete nouns, words for physical people. When you say, "John is a good name, or Jane is a good name.", not words for actual people, they are abstract nouns. You have to think about the meaning of the noun to identify it as an abstract noun.

Just keep on laughing, man, that's what really matters.
