The most common method is to use something called litmus paper, which comes in both red and blue.
When you dip the red litmus paper in the substance, if it turns blue, then the substance is a base.
When you dip the blue litmus paper in the substance, if it turns red, then the substance is an acid.
However, this doesn't give you the exact pH of the substance, so there are several other devices that you can buy that measure pH.
Bronsted-Lowry acids donate protons (H) and bases accept protons. Acids have a hydrogen atom that can be donated, while bases have a lone pair of electrons to accept a proton.
Acids in water produce H+ ions. Bases in water produce OH- ions. Two properties of acids are they taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red. Two properties of bases are they taste bitter and feel slippery.
Litmus paper is a substance that changes color in the presence of acids or bases. Acids turn litmus paper red, while bases turn it blue. By observing the color change, you can identify whether a substance is acidic or basic.
Acids taste bitter.
Identifying Weak acids and bases depend on: When The Elements of these acids react they completely ionise with water and form Strong salts without being in the oh- situation, then its a strong Acid.

Acids and bases.
Acid base indicators are used to identify acids and bases. Among the common indicators are;PhenolphthaleinMethyl redMethyl orangeBromothymol blue

You can use litmus paper to identify the acids and bases.

for one never taste it but, you will need an acid-base indicator to identify it...you can thank me later
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases

bases neutralise the acids
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
