Today at St. Marks I learned about common nouns and proper nouns. So, a common noun always starts with a lowercase letter. A proper noun always starts with an uppercase letter. Common nouns are a type of person, place or thing. A proper noun is a specific person, place or thing. Here is one example for a common noun and a proper noun. Dog is the common noun. But let’s say this dog’s name is Fido. Fido is the proper noun. Here is another one. Girl is the common noun. But let’s say that Rachel is the girl’s name. Then, Rachel would be the proper noun. Last one. Computer is the common noun. But let’s say the computer is Platinum 10. Then, Platinum 10 is the proper noun. So, now do you know about proper and common nouns? Good. A little bit of practice for everything will help you get better. Soon, you will be a genius at everything.
