Concrete

Concrete, as an adjective, signifies something real, tangible, and definite, existing in a physical form rather than being abstract or theoretical. It pertains to specific instances and observable facts. In grammar, it refers to nouns that represent physical things rather than ideas. As a noun, concrete is a composite construction material made of cement (commonly Portland cement) and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, aggregate (generally a coarse aggregate such as gravel or crushed rock plus a fine aggregate such as sand), water, and chemical admixtures.
