Proper nouns are names for specific people, places, events, and things, such as Paul Bunyan, the Pacific Northwest, and Babe the Blue Ox, and are capitalized. Common nouns are nouns that refer to types of people, places, and things, such as lumberjack, timber, ox, tale, and author, and are not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence.
