🔍 Explanation for Students

- Proper nouns are special names that identify specific things.
- They always start with a capital letter.
- For example:
- "horse" is general → "Spirit" is a specific horse.
- "children" is general → "Sam and Lily" are specific kids.

This helps students understand how general categories become specific names in real life.
