Group 3 will fall in line there.

Since you are with your groupmates now, Let

us start to play “ PANTS”

group with the highest total score will be the
winner.

Each name fits to the given meaning of a

noun.

Today, we are going to learn how to classified

noun as common noun or proper noun.

Any idea about Common noun, Andrea?

Very good, Andrea.

It’s like noun, it also name people, places,
Common nouns name people, places, things, things, animals and events.
events and ideas that are not specific.

Examples: flower, girl, church, school, fish

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

Do you now understand what a common

noun is?

Give me another example of common noun,

Reymart.

Very good, Reymart.

Give me another example of common noun, Yes, teacher.

Monica.

Very good, Monica. Shoes, teacher.

Okay, Let’s proceed to proper noun.

Any idea about proper noun, Fiona?

Mountain, teacher.

Very good , Fiona.

Proper nouns name specific people, places,

things, events and ideas.
It is also like a noun teacher. It names people,
Examples: Rose, Lhea, San Roque Parish places, things and animals.
Church, Technological College of San Felipe,
Tilapia

What can you notice about these names,

Rhea?

Very good, Rhea!

Since these nouns are specific names, they

always begin with a capital letter. Sometimes,
they contain two or more important words.
They all begin in capital letter, teacher.
Note that important words are capitalized
and also noticed that even though these are
word pairs, each pair is considered to be only
one noun.

Do you now understand what a proper noun

is?

Give me another example of proper noun,

Katrina.

Very good, Katrina.

Give me another example of proper noun, Yes, teacher.

Jamaica.

Is Jamaica correct, Sedric? Katrina, teacher

How did you know that Jamaica is correct,

Sedric?

because you tried to answer.

So class, Just remember that every proper

noun has a corresponding common noun, but
not every common noun has a corresponding I don’t know, teacher.
proper noun. For example, dirt is a common
noun but there is no specific kind of dirt, so it
has no proper noun.

noun that has no proper noun?
