🔍 Explanation:

- Proper nouns are specific names and are always capitalized.
- Common nouns refer to general categories and are not capitalized unless at the start of a sentence.
- In sentence 6, “History of the world” is capitalized as a title, so “History” is treated as a proper noun in this context.

This worksheet helps students distinguish between general and specific nouns, which is key to grammar understanding.
