In reply to Kylie Ridler. Hi, Kylie. Insofar as a noun or noun phrase refers to an observable phenomenon, it will work as a concrete noun.

Hi, Thank you for your informative article. Just wondering if naturally occurring phenomenon that are observable concrete or abstract e.g. water cycle, erosion.

In reply to isha. Hi, Isha. Those words are not nouns: "famous" is an adjective, and "belonged" is a past tense verb.

In reply to kristine. Hi, Kristine. Are you asking if those are abstract or concrete nouns? If so, they would usually be abstract. However, for "length," this may depend on the context (e.g., a "length of rope" is a concrete object).

In reply to Rekha.

Hi, Rekha. As the post explains, specific locations and places, like “field” or “playground,” are concrete nouns because they are tangible things we can point at in the real world. “Field” can also mean “area of activity or expertise” (e.g., “She is a leader in the field of proofreading”), and this sense of “field” is an abstract noun because it refers to something intangible and non-physical. Hope that helps clarify the issue!
