Common / Proper Noun

Do you remember what nouns are?




There are two types of nouns: Common and proper nouns.

A common noun is a word that names any person, place, thing, or idea. A common noun begins with a lowercase letter. Click here for some examples.

A proper noun tells the exact name of a person, place, or thing. Words that name people, places, titles, holidays, days of the week, and months of the year are proper nouns. Proper nouns are always capitalised. Click here for some examples.
