 |  
							| My third lesson plan at university (I �m an undergraduate) and which I am to hand in two weeks is about abstract nouns (suffixes) and must include a reading comprehension. Could you give me some guidelines for the reading comprehension? Which characteristics should a reading comprehension have? Thanks in advance and my regards |  8 May 2009

							| Hi,   I �m a little confused. An abstract noun is something that is not tangible: love, hate, freedom... , so why did you put (suffixes) in parentheses? Could you please give a little more information, so we can help you?   Carla    |  8 May 2009

							| I guess carinita means abstract nouns formed from an adjective by adding a suffix: Happy => happiness
