Abstract nouns: Abstract nouns represent those things that we cannot experience with our
five senses although we can experience the effects of them; they are the idea nouns. Some abstract nouns are common nouns and others are proper nouns. Abstract nouns can be singular or plural Examples of Abstract (Idea) nouns: democracy, freedom, fear, joy, happiness, God, Wednesday, independence, success, failure, religion, Christianity, Islam, Native American Spirituality, Paganism, doubts, ideas, ideals, effects, interests, goals, dreams, Clues for recognizing nouns: You can often determine that a word is a noun by placing "a" "an" or "the" in front of it. These words are sometimes called articles, determiners, or noun markers. You can always make a noun the subject of a verb. For example, put the words "is good" after a word you think is a singular noun and the words "are good" after a word you think is a plural noun. If the words "work" together, then your word is a noun. Try that with all the nouns above, and you will see how it works.
