Abstract nouns? Lol I don't know about them yet, shows I've got a bit to learn still :P

nerd:
Captain is not a common noun, because it is the title (name) of the role that the man has. Look at the capital letter (Captain). This implies that it's a proper noun.

jackinthepatch:
Ok, I just looked up the difference between common nouns and abstract nouns, I get it now lol. Yay!  :D

AppleThief:
Hmmm, I can only find two adverbs: softly, deadly.

I wonder where the others are hiding...

UprightMan:
When evening came, the men assembled at the edge of the forest. Uncertainty and doubt behind, each man understood the importance of his personal mission. A mistake would throw every life into danger and at some point their presence would be detected. Each man stood at the brink of a private nightmare. Discovery was inevitable, however, and the consequences would be deadly for some. MacMahon, a solitary figure dressed in grey and shadowed by grief, coughed softly. The men lifted their worn faces to their Captain.

Common nouns = concrete nouns...? ;  men, forest, figure, faces, grey.
Adverbs - deadly, softly...and after that I can only find adverbials =s

EDIT:
"The gold dog", "the blue man" and "motorway crash". You could take blue man, gold dog and motorway crash as noun phrases.  Makes things easier to understand in my eyes.
