Country
I read online that "noun is a naming word that identifies a person (engineer,friend ), thing (flower, country)"
I thought "country " would fall into the idea category of noun. How can it be a thing like chair?

Here are two ways to look at why a country is a "thing": A country is a physical place, even though it's a large one. A "thing" doesn't have to be a purely physical object. A government, for instance, could be considered a thing.

0A 'thing' does not have to be a visible, tangible object. It can be a concept / idea as well. I always teach nouns as being words which are names, things and ideas. It seems to cover most eventualities!
['eventualities' = abstract noun as it's an idea / concept]
