​Abstract Nouns/ideas

​For concrete sentences or ideas, you will be able to visualize if something could actually happen.

​

For example:

The boy scored the winning goal in his soccer match.

​

This sentence is a concrete idea because a boy scoring a winning goal is something we know can be real. ​

CONCRETE

​For abstract sentences/ideas, you should have more of a mental, emotional, or internal feeling. Usually, you CAN'T picture or visualize something happening in real life.

​

For example:

​

My love for her was so vast that my heart began to glow through my shirt.

​

We know that our hearts can't glow, and that his love is a feeling.​
