A concrete noun is one which can be experienced by our senses; we can touch it, or see it, or hear it, and so on. For example: tree, landscape, symphony, dinner, table, horse, cacophony.
An abstract noun is one which cannot be experienced in that way; it expresses a concept. For example: happiness, truth, understanding, antipathy.
