	Grammar Geek  +  897191 Fri, 11 Sep 09 05:51 PM This looks like a homework assignment.   Try putting the word "The" before them and see if you can make a sentence using "The X" as the subject meaning "people who are X." If you can, it can serve as an abstract noun. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,683 Barbara, who answers in American English.
