What is a improper noun?

Answer 1

An improper noun is an alternate term for a common noun, a general word for people, places, and things. The first letter of the noun is not capitalized unless it is the first word in a sentence or a part of a name or title.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun is always capitalized.

Examples:

Proper noun = John; improper noun = boy, man, friend, brother, neighbor, etc.

Proper noun = Chicago; improper noun = city, metropolis, place, urban center, etc.

Proper noun = Newsweek; improper noun = magazine, publication, etc.

Proper noun = The Sphinx; improper noun = monument, architecture, landmark, etc.

Title: Little House on the Prairie (house and prairie are improper nouns capitalized because they are part of the title.)

Answer 2

An improper noun is a type of noun that does not refer to a specific person, place, or thing. It is a general or common noun that does not require a capital letter unless it is the first word in a sentence. Improper nouns include words like "city," "animal," and "country," which do not point to a particular entity but rather to a category or type of entity.
