Nouns are determined abstract or concrete by their meaning or their use.

Words for things that can be experienced by one or more of the five senses are concrete nouns; if it can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched they are concrete. If they can't be experienced by any of the five senses, they are abstract nouns; words for emotions, ideas, and beliefs. Some nouns have more than one meaning or use.

An example is the word 'wall', a concrete noun unless used for something like a 'wall of resistance'; there is no physical wall, only the idea of a wall.
