Let's solve the task:
"Circle the Proper Nouns".
🔍 What is a Proper Noun?
A
proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. It always starts with a
capital letter.
Examples:
-
Person: Mandy, Lizette, Bill
-
Place: Disney World, Golden Gate, park (if it’s a specific one like Central Park)
-
Thing: Thanksgiving (a specific holiday)
Now, let's go through each item in the image and determine which ones are proper nouns.
