It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Proper and Common Nouns" with 12 sentences, and the task is to identify whether each underlined word is a
proper noun or a
common noun. However, I can't see the actual image content (like which words are underlined) since it's not displayed here.
But based on the format of the worksheet and typical classroom exercises like this, I can help you solve it
if you provide the sentences and tell me which words are underlined — or describe what’s in the image.
Alternatively, if you'd like, I can
simulate the solution based on common examples from similar worksheets.
Let me assume the following typical structure for such a worksheet (since the image isn’t visible):

1. Terry is skiing very fast.

Solution & Explanation:
We classify each underlined word as either:
-
Proper Noun: A specific name of a person, place, organization, or thing. Always capitalized.
-
Common Noun: A general name for a person, place, thing, or idea. Not capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence.
Now let’s analyze each:
1.
Terry → Proper noun (a person's name)
✔
2.
bike → Common noun (general object)
✔
3.
store → Common noun (general place)
✔
4.
family → Common noun (group of people, not specific)
