What is a Thing?

Thing is used to describe objects without being specific. This is most often applied to objects that can be moved and is less likely to be applied to large objects such as a house, mountain or planet.
Definition of Thing
A generalized entity or specific entity that can't be named.
We use the word thing to generalize. For example, if we say "blue things" this allows use to specify all objects that are blue in a general way. It is also common to call something a thing when you can't think of its name. For example, "where is that thing we use to change the channels on the TV."

Intangible Things

Definitions of thing often state that it refers to physical objects. However, it is quite common to use the word thing to refer to intangible things. For example, "the good things in life." This is too common to be incorrect but is perhaps a poetic use of the word.

Living Things

It is a common primary school exercise to list things as "people, places and things" whereby animals and other living things are categorized as things. This isn't technically correct as many definitions of thing describe it as referring to inanimate objects. As such, another category such as living things can be used for animals and other life forms.

Material Things

Material things are goods and assets that have value to humans. This relates to the concept of materialism whereby people may value physical things over intangible elements of the human experience such as friendship.
