Concrete Nouns are nouns having physical properties—meaning they can be touched or seen while Countable Nouns are nouns that can be counted using numbers.
To count things requires that those things have physical features (can be touched or seen), which means they should be concrete. In short, for a noun to be a Countable Noun, it should be a Concrete Noun, too. So the answer to the question is YES!
Below are examples of nouns that are both countable and concrete.
examples:
glasses
spoons
pens
people
books
papers
crayons
watches
fans
cats
leaves
Note that this principle can be applied to abstract nouns, too. For example, when we list qualities or attributes, such as goodness, kindness, and bitterness. These nouns can be counted, which is why the principle is applicable. However, please also note that the actions of such nouns may not be counted at all.
