Nouns 2

In this second 11-plus English quiz on nouns, you are going to get some practice in identifying abstract nouns; these are nouns that you can't literally sense with your five senses: you can't see, touch, smell, hear or taste them. For example: anger, love, curiosity and democracy.

One handy tip to help with finding the correct answer is to put the words 'he is' at the beginning of each option. The ones that make no sense will be incorrect answers. Abstract nouns are not as obvious as proper nouns, but once you get to grips with them, you'll be a noun expert!

Give this quiz a whirl and see if you can get top marks. If at first you don't succeed, try try again!
