Abstract forms of nouns are very common and an important part of communication. In many cases these types of nouns are derived from an addition of a suffix or alteration in the root word. Child is a concrete noun, for example, but childhood is an intangible state, so it is abstract. Nouns with the following suffixes are often abstract:

  • -tion
  • -ism
  • -ity
  • -ment
  • -ness
  • -age
  • -ance/-ence
  • -ship
  • -ability
  • -acy

There are HEAPS of abstract nouns but I'll help you with a few:

happy

sad

angry

fustrated

depressed

stressed

excited

cheerful

tired

An abstract noun is a feeling inside.

For a word to be an abstract noun, you cant: touch, smell, hear, see or taste the object.
