Notes Proper Nouns and Common Nouns

Proper
Proper nouns name specific people, places, things, or ideas.
Examples: Britney, Paris, Rover, Nike
Since these nouns are naming specific things, they always begin with a
capital letter.
Sometimes, they contain two or more important words.
Examples: Britney Spears, Central Park Zoo, Pacific Ocean
If this is the case, both important words are capitalized, and the whole thing
is still considered to be one proper noun even though it's made up of more than
one word. How about that?

Common
Common nouns are the opposite of proper nouns. They name people, places,
things or ideas that are not specific.
Examples:

woman, city, dog, shoe

Since these nouns are not naming anything specific, they do not need to start
with a capital letter unless they begin a sentence.
