A total of 80 compositions were collected from four secondary school students of IMTIYAZ in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu. Per year, each respondent contributed five compositions written for their English subject from Form One till Form Four. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that all four respondents had a major increase in the number of occurrences of the abstract noun between Form 1 to Form 2 but the occurrences stabilized in later years.
