• A concrete noun is a person, place or thing that you could smell, see, taste, touch, hear, like a bell that rings...
• An abstract noun is an idea you can’t see: happiness, solitude, religion and belief...
• Common nouns are everywhere, names of things of which there are many;
• Proper nouns are capitalized- specific, like Aunt Betty.
• Harvard, Yale, and Truman Middle: these are proper nouns. Specific names of things- that’s how proper nouns get down.
• College, school, class: these are common ones. There are lots of them so you know you don’t capitalize these guys, Son.
• Ideas are abstract, things are concrete.
• (We’ll get the verbs poppin’ the next time we meet.)
