In English Grammar, there are several ways to describe each thing designed by nature in a different manner. In grammar, we find verb, noun, adjective, adverb, abstract noun, narration, voice etc. Abstract nouns are the objects/ ideas which can only be felt and can never be seen or touched. The things we sense with our sense organs and are intangible are known as abstract nouns. Basically, they are opposite to concrete nouns.
Abstract nouns are made from verbs, adjectives and common nouns. These types of questions are normally asked in exam papers.
