Lesson Intro: Identify Common and Proper Nouns

Today we will learn about common nouns and proper nouns. Nouns are naming words for people, places, animals, things, or ideas. A common noun names any general person, place, or thing, while a proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing and always begins with a capital letter. Learning the difference will help us write more clearly and correctly. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify and sort common and proper nouns in sentences.
