Abstract subjects are things that you can't visualize such as: efficiency, reliability, attention, relationships, performance,
situation, knowledge, and function.
A noun is usually as abstract if it ends with these suffixes:
-tion, -ism, -ity, -ment, -ness, -age, -ance/-ence, -ship,
-ability, and, -acy.
Concrete sentence subjects are ones that you can visualize. Names entities that can be touched or sensed in a physical way, for example, 'tree', 'chalk', 'rice', 'knife', 'baby', and so on. Concrete nouns can be either singular or plural.

"love" is abstract. "Concrete" is concrete. Abstract means you can't measure it. Concrete means that it has physical form and can be measured in some way.
