A common noun is a word for any person, place, or thing. A common noun is only capitalized if it is the first word in a sentence.

A proper noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or a title. All the words of a proper noun are capitalized.

A noun (common or proper) is the subject of a sentence or clause, and the object of a verb or a preposition.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. The first person singular, subjective (I) is the only pronoun that is capitalized no matter where it falls in a sentence. All other pronouns are capitalized only when it is the first word in a sentence. A pronoun functions the same as a noun, as the subject of a sentence or clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

Proper noun subject: Aunt Jane made cookies for Jack and Jill.

Pronoun subject: She made cookies for Jack and Jill.

Common noun object of verb: Aunt Jane made cookies for Jack and Jill.

Pronoun object of verb: Aunt Jane made some for Jack and Jill.

Proper nouns object of preposition: Aunt Jane made cookies for Jack and Jill.

Pronoun object of preposition: Aunt Jane made cookies for them.
