What is the difference between adjective and abstract noun?

Answer 1

Adjective vs Abstract Noun

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun.

Examples:

1. Francis is a nice person. (the adjective 'nice' describes the noun 'person')

2. Italy is an interesting country.(the adjective 'interesting' describes the noun 'country', a place)

3. Angela accepts the red rose. (the adjective 'red' describes the noun 'rose', a thing)

An abstract noun is a word for something that can't be experienced by any of the five physical senses. An abstract noun is a word for something that is known, learned, thought, understood, or felt emotionally.

Examples:

1. Francis has a brilliant idea. (the adjective 'brilliant' describes the abstract noun 'idea')

2. It was a great vacation. (the adjective 'great' describes the abstract noun 'vacation', a concept)

3. Angela has a burning desire to succeed. (the adjective 'burning' describes the abstract noun 'desire', an emotion)

Answer 2

An adjective describes a quality or characteristic of a noun, while an abstract noun refers to ideas, concepts, or emotions that cannot be perceived through the senses. Adjectives modify nouns by providing more information about them, whereas abstract nouns represent intangible things.
