Proper nouns are special names we give to specific people, places, or things. They are different from other nouns because they always start with a capital letter.
For example:
People: If we say “girl,” it could mean any girl, but if we say Emma or John, we mean a specific person. Here, Emma and John are proper nouns.
Places: If we say “city,” it could mean any city. But if we say Paris or Tokyo, we mean specific cities. Paris and Tokyo are proper nouns.
Things: Names of companies, brands, and even days of the week are also proper nouns. For example, Nike (a brand) and Monday (a day of the week) are proper nouns.
Why Do We Use Proper Nouns? We use proper nouns to give specific names to people, places, and things so we know exactly what we’re talking about. This makes our sentences clearer.
Examples in Sentences:
- Sarah lives in New York.
- Sunday is my favorite day of the week.
- I love to drink Coca-Cola.
Remember, if it’s a specific name, it’s a proper noun and should start with a capital letter.
