A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title. A proper noun is always capitalized. Examples:
- a person: Oliver Twist
- a place: New York City
- a thing: Coca Cola (or Coke)
- a title: President of the United States or "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy
That being said, you can't rely solely on a capitalized word being a proper noun, both individuals and professionals sometimes capitalize incorrectly or fail to capitalize when necessary. Many words can be both a common noun and a proper noun and it's best to know which is which. Examples:
I have an apple in my lunch. 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. Ray Mabus is the US Secretary of the Navy.
