9. Abstract nouns are those referring to ideas, concepts, emotions, and other “things” you can’t physically interact with.
Concrete nouns are words used for actual things you can touch, see, taste, feel, and hear – things you interact with every day. 
Common nouns are used to refer to general things rather than specific examples. Common nouns are not normally capitalized unless they are used as part of a proper name or are placed at the beginning of a sentence.
Proper nouns have two distinct features: They name specific one-of-a-kind items, and they begin with capital letters, no matter where they occur within a sentence.

46. A conjunction connects other words or groups of words.
Coordinating conjunctions join similar groups of words (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so- FANBOYS).
Commas go before the coordinating conjunctions which separate two independent clauses.
Subordinating conjunctions join a subordinate clause to a main clause. (after, as, because, before, if, since, though, when, where, while)
If the dependent clause comes first, you’ll need a comma; if the independent clause comes first, you probably won’t need a comma.
