A common noun is a word for any person (neighbor), place (city), thing (banana), or idea (hope). A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person (Mr. Brown), the name of a specific place (Chicago), a specific thing (Brooklyn Bridge), or idea (Bill of Rights).

A proper noun always starts with a capital letter. ex: United States, Christopher, California.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title. A proper noun is always capitalized. Many words can be both a common noun and a proper noun. Examples:

My mom used to make apple jelly. Fiona Apple is an American singer.

We went to the lake for a week this summer. Here is a map of Lake Michigan.

We can paint the room cream and yellow. We have some Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

My secretary can make an appointment for you. Hilary Clinton is the US Secretary of State.
