Worksheet for identifying proper and common nouns.

To solve this worksheet, we need to decide if each noun is common or proper.

Here is the simple rule:
* Common Nouns: These are general names for people, places, animals, or things. They do not start with a capital letter (unless they are at the start of a sentence). Examples: *city, boy, dog*.
* Proper Nouns: These are specific names for a particular person, place, animal, or thing. They always start with a capital letter. Examples: *London, John, Fido*.

Let's look at each word on your list:

1) Table: This is a general object. It is common. (This one is already done for you).
2) London: This is the specific name of a city. It starts with a capital L. It is proper.
3) Dog: This is a general type of animal. It is common.
4) River: This is a general type of body of water. It is common.
5) Paris: This is the specific name of a city. It starts with a capital P. It is proper.
6) Cat: This is a general type of animal. It is common.
7) Mountain: This is a general type of landform. It is common.
8) John: This is the specific name of a person. It starts with a capital J. It is proper.
9) Book: This is a general object. It is common.
10) Tree: This is a general type of plant. It is common.
11) Moon: In grammar exercises like this, "Moon" (capitalized) usually refers to Earth's specific moon as a proper noun, similar to how we treat "Sun." Since it is capitalized in the list, it is treated as proper.

1) Table: common
2) London: proper
3) Dog: common
4) River: common
5) Paris: proper
6) Cat: common
7) Mountain: common
