Students can practice their grammar skills by filling in specific proper nouns for each general common noun listed on this worksheet.

Explanation:
This task asks you to think of a proper noun for each common noun listed.

Let’s remember:
- A common noun is a general name for a person, place, thing, or idea (e.g., *woman*, *mountain*, *book*).
- A proper noun is the *specific name* of a person, place, thing, or idea — and it always starts with a capital letter (e.g., *Marie Curie*, *Mount Everest*, *Harry Potter*).

We need to match each common noun with a real, well-known proper noun example.

Let’s go one by one:

1. woman → *Marie Curie* (famous scientist)
2. man → *Albert Einstein* (shown in the image — perfect match!)
3. mountain → *Mount Fuji* (famous volcano in Japan)
4. book → *Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone* (well-known book title)
5. movie → *The Lion King* (popular animated film)
6. monument → *Eiffel Tower* (iconic monument in Paris)
7. holiday → *Christmas* (widely celebrated holiday)
8. singer → *Beyoncé* (famous singer)
9. school → *Harvard University* (though it's a university, “school” can be used broadly; alternatively, *Lincoln Elementary School* — but Harvard is more recognizable)
→ Better: *Westminster School* (a famous historic school), but since #15 is university, let’s use *Lincoln High School* or just *St. Paul’s School*. However, for simplicity and recognition, many teachers accept *Harvard* even under “school” in basic exercises. But to be precise, let’s choose a clear school: Riverside Elementary School — but that’s made up. We want real names. Real example: Phillips Exeter Academy — maybe too advanced. Let’s pick The Dalton School (real, well-known). Hmm — easier: Oxford University? No, that’s university. Wait — actually, in many worksheets, they accept *Harvard* for both school and university. Since #15 is university, better to pick a K–12 school: Horace Mann School (real, NYC). But for a student worksheet, they often expect simple, famous names. Let’s use Eton College — it’s a famous school in England. Yes, that works.

But to keep it simple and universally known:
→ Eton College (for #9 school)
→ #15 university → Harvard University

9. school → *Eton College*
10. country → *Japan*
11. day → *Monday* (but days are proper nouns — yes! All days of the week are proper nouns.) Or *Independence Day* (a specific holiday). The instruction says “think of a proper noun”, so *Monday* is acceptable, but *Valentine’s Day* is more clearly a named day. However, standard answers often use *Monday*, *Tuesday*, etc. Let’s use Monday — it's correct and simple.

Wait — careful: In grammar, days of the week *are* proper nouns (capitalized), so Monday is fine.

12. teacher → *Mrs. Johnson* (generic but proper) — but better a real famous teacher? Not many famous teachers by name. Alternatively, *Anne Sullivan* (Helen Keller’s teacher) — excellent real example. Let’s use Anne Sullivan.

13. city → *Paris*
14. month → *July* (months are proper nouns — capitalized)
15. university → *Harvard University*
16. restaurant → *McDonald’s* (brand name, proper noun) or *Olive Garden* — but *McDonald’s* is most recognized.
17. company → *Apple*
18. hotel → *The Ritz* or *Waldorf Astoria* — let’s use The Ritz Paris or simply Hilton Hotel. Better: The Savoy (famous London hotel) — but for simplicity: Marriott is a chain, but *The Plaza* is iconic. Let’s pick The Plaza (New York).
However, many worksheets accept Hilton. To be safe and simple: Disneyland Hotel? No — better: Four Seasons Hotel. Hmm. Let’s use The Ritz — it’s short and famous.

19. planet → *Earth* (our planet — proper noun)
20. actor → *Tom Hanks*

Now, double-check for duplicates and appropriaten’t:

- #2 man → Albert Einstein (image confirms this — great!)
- #6 monument → Colosseum? The image shows the Colosseum at bottom left — so maybe they expect Colosseum for monument. That’s even better! Since the Colosseum is drawn, it’s likely the intended answer for #6.

So update:
6. monument → *Colosseum* (matches image)

Also, #10 country → since Colosseum is in Rome, Italy — but any country is fine. *Italy* would connect, but not required. *Japan*, *Canada*, *Brazil* all fine. Let’s use Italy to tie with Colosseum.

Let me finalize a clean, student-friendly list with real, well-known proper nouns:

1. woman → Marie Curie
2. man → Albert Einstein
3. mountain → Mount Everest
4. book → Harry Potter
5. movie → Titanic
6. monument → Colosseum
7. holiday → Christmas
8. singer → Beyoncé
9. school → Eton College
10. country → Italy
11. day → Monday
12. teacher → Anne Sullivan
13. city → Paris
14. month → July
15. university → Harvard University
16. restaurant → McDonald’s
17. company → Apple
18. hotel → The Ritz
19. planet → Earth
20. actor → Tom Hanks

All are proper nouns (capitalized, specific names), real, and appropriate for a school worksheet.

Final Answer:
1. Marie Curie
2. Albert Einstein
3. Mount Everest
4. Harry Potter
5. Titanic
6. Colosseum
