Abstract nouns and concrete nouns are usually defined in terms of one another.
Something that is abstract exists only in the mind, while something that is concrete can
be interacted with in a physical way. Qualities, relationships, theories, conditions, and
states of being are some examples of the types of things abstract nouns define.
