Can a noun fall under more than one category?
There have been various confusions on whether each noun falls under one category alone. And the conclusion is NO because all nouns may fall under more than one category.
Examples of nouns having more than one category with explanations:

'book' can be considered a separable item and counted using numbers if more than one. It is, therefore, a Countable Noun.
*Concrete Noun

*Common Noun
'book' is ordinary among all other things. Millions of books of different genres and titles make (book) a Common Noun.

*Abstract Noun
'attitude' is a perception or a concept. It is all in the mind, making it an Abstract Noun.
