Is rock a common noun or a proper noun?

Answer 1

Rock is a common noun. Proper nouns are the unique names of people, places, or things. Common nouns are the words for general things. If a common noun is part of a name, it becomes a proper noun. Pronouns always replace proper and common nouns.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing; for example, Chris Rock (American actor), the Rock of Gibraltar, or White Rock Beverages, Inc.

The word 'rock' is also a verb: rock, rocks, rocking, rocked.
