Question

State whether true or false:
The abstract noun form of the adjective “strong” is strength.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Hint: An abstract noun denotes a thing which is not a material object. It may be an emotion, state, quality or anything that does not have physical existence.

Complete answer:
Abstract noun is the name of a quality, action, feeling, idea, state, event, etc. An easy way to identify abstract nouns is to identify things one cannot touch. For example, courage, freedom, love, creativity, etc. Our 5 physical senses cannot detect an abstract noun, i.e. we cannot see it, touch it, smell it, hear it or taste it. For the adjective ‘strong’, the abstract noun would be strength. Strength can be felt but cannot be touched. Hence, option a is the answer. The statement given above is true.

Note: It is not a proper noun as strength can be physical, mental, emotional or of any other kind.
