What are common and proper nouns?

Every noun is classified as either a common or proper noun.

A proper noun names a specific noun, and common nouns are generic nouns.

Proper nouns always have the first letter capitalized (like Kelly, Omaha, or Chips Ahoy).

Common nouns do not have the first letter capitalized (unless it comes at the beginning of a sentence, of course).

What are some examples of common and proper nouns?

Common noun examples: store, ice cream, football team

Proper noun examples: Target, Breyer’s, Dallas Cowboys
