Is time an abstract noun

Answer 1

The noun 'time' is an abstract noun, a word for the duration in which all things happen; a word for a precise instant that something happens; a word for a concept.

A concrete noun is something that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched; a word for a physical thing.

The word 'time' is also a verb and an adjective.

Answer 2

Yes, the word time is an abstract noun because it is a concept, not an actual physical object that we can perceive with our senses.

Time is subjective, not objective. It exists only in our minds. Even Albert Einstein proved that time is an abstraction and doesn't have physical reality. So past, present, and future don't really exist at all! They only exist in our minds. Yes folks, you read that right. It is all in our heads! Time is relative, not absolute like Isaac newton had believed. Time does not tick at the same rate throughout the universe. Clocks, watches, and calendars are concrete objects used to measure the abstract notion that we call 'time'. Time is simply a measurement, a number in other words. And numbers are abstract. They are not concrete like physical objects are. Time is simply used to measure the change and motion of concrete objects that have physical reality. We use the motions of the earth with reference to the sun and the moon to measure time. Time itself is nonphysical. Therefore, as a noun, it is abstract. Nevertheless, this abstraction is very important to us as human beings. Time organizes our activities. It tells us when to awaken, when to eat, when to go to work, and when to sleep. Our society and economy couldn't function without the discipline demanded by that mathematical and mental construct we call 'time'.
