Concrete terms would be actual physical things, whereas their corresponding abstract terms would be ideas or concepts that are related. For example, a concrete term is "kiss," for the abstract term of "love.". The abstract "fear" might be represented by any number of concrete objects such as guns, snakes or cliffs. You might consider thinking of the abstract terms first, and then identifying concrete terms that match them.

You can list ideological terms or terms related to concepts for the abstract terms. "Justice" is one example. 

The term "courthouse" is an example of a concrete term. Terms that describe real objects will usually be concrete.
