The big wolf and little wolf uses abstract nouns to express the wolves emotional feelings and ideas through their sensations. These words are ideas that people cannot use their sensations to physically touch or feel them. Abstract nouns are meaningful ideals, emotional feelings, attributes, a state of being, or concepts that are not actual objects. Examples of this are freedom, patriotism, pride, joy, happiness, sad, mad, courage, anger, charity, truth, brave, loyal, friendship, and concern are just a few.
Concrete nouns are physical objects, people, places or things that can be experienced through a person's senses. These nouns can be experienced through your five senses by tasting, touching, seeing, smelling, or hearing.
