Nouns

     NOUNS are words that stand for a person, place, thing, or idea.
They can be SINGULAR ( one ) or PLURAL ( more than one ).
     COMMON NOUNS do not need to begin with a capital letter.
     A PROPER NOUN is a name given to a specific person, place, or
thing. Proper nouns begin with capital letters.

     Each sentence below contains one common noun and one proper
noun. The proper noun is incorrectly printed, because it doesn’t begin
with a capital letter.
     Write or type the proper noun and be sure to begin it with a capital
letter.
