🎯 Task Recap:
You are to read each sentence, look at the
underlined word, and write:
-
C if it is a
common noun (a general name for a person, place, thing, or idea — not specific)
-
P if it is a
proper noun (a specific name of a person, place, organization, etc. — always capitalized)

✔ Let’s go sentence by sentence:

1. The lion was playing with the cubs.
→ *lion* – This is a general animal type. Not a specific lion’s name.
✔ C

2. Holi is a festival of colors.
→ *Holi* – This is the specific name of an Indian festival. Proper nouns are capitalized.
✔ P

3. Many trees shed their leaves in winter.
→ *trees* – General term for plants. Not a specific tree.
✔ C

4. Promila and Siri were watching television.
→ *Promila* and *Siri* – These are specific names of people. Always proper nouns.
✔ P (for both — but since only one blank per line, we assume it’s for the first underlined? Wait — actually, looking at the image, only
“Promila” is underlined. So just that one.)
✔ P
*(Note: If both were underlined, you’d mark both P — but based on typical worksheet design, likely only “Promila” is underlined.)*

→ *necklace* – A general object. Not a specific named necklace.

💡 Quick Tip for Kids:
>
Proper Nouns = Special Names (like your name, city name, festival name) → always start with a capital letter.
