Proper and Common Nouns
Did you know there are two kinds of noun: common nouns and proper nouns. Common nouns refer to general nouns and proper nouns refer to specific nouns.
What Are Proper and Common Nouns?
Common nouns are used to refer to general objects, people, or places and nouns that are used to refer to specific people, places, or things are known as proper nouns.
Capitalization
The first letter of all proper nouns should always be capitalized. This includes the first letter of each word in the noun, such as 'New York City'.
In contrast, common nouns are only capitalized when they appear at the beginning of a sentence.
