A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, organization, or sometimes a thing. It always starts with a capital letter, no matter where it appears in a sentence.
Examples of Proper Nouns:
- People: Sarah, Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan
- Places: Paris, Mount Everest, Nile River
- Organizations: Microsoft, United Nations, Harvard University
- Days and Months: Monday, January
Difference from Common Nouns:
- Common noun: a general name for a person, place, or thing (e.g., city, woman, river)
- Proper noun: a specific name (e.g., New York, Mary, Amazon River)
