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.
Examples of abstract nouns derived from verbs are:
- verb to believe, abstract noun = belief
- verb to enjoy, abstract noun = enjoyment
- verb to promise, abstract noun = promise
- verb to think, abstract noun = thinking
A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:
- His belief will be the basis of his research. (subject of the sentence)
- We derive enjoyment from travel and discovering new places. (direct object of the verb 'derive')
- The courage that his promise gave them helped them through their ordeal. (subject of the relative clause)
- I can figure this out. All I need is a quiet place for thinking. (object of the preposition 'for')
