The task in the image is to
find the proper nouns in each sentence. Proper nouns are specific names of people, places, organizations, or things and are always capitalized.
Let’s go through each sentence and identify the proper nouns:
---
Sentence 1:
"Next year, we are going to Paris on holiday."
-
Paris – This is a city (a place), so it's a proper noun.
✔ Proper noun: Paris
---
Sentence 2:
"My friend Ali lives next door to me."
-
Ali – This is a person's name, so it's a proper noun.
✔ Proper noun: Ali
---
Sentence 3:
"Amy's new dog, Fluffy, is so cute!"
-
Amy – A person's name → proper noun.
-
Fluffy – This is the name of a pet (a specific dog). Since it's a name, it's also a proper noun.
✔ Proper nouns: Amy, Fluffy
---
Sentence 4:
"Have you ever been to Wales?"
-
Wales – This is a country (a place), so it's a proper noun.
✔ Proper noun: Wales

Summary of Answers:
| Sentence | Proper Nouns |
|--------|--------------|
| Next year, we are going to Paris on holiday. | Paris |
| My friend Ali lives next door to me. | Ali |
| Amy's new dog, Fluffy, is so cute! | Amy, Fluffy |
| Have you ever been to Wales? | Wales |

Explanation:
- Proper nouns are
specific names and are
always capitalized.
- Common nouns like "dog," "year," or "holiday" are not proper nouns unless they're part of a specific name.
- Names of people (Ali, Amy), places (Paris, Wales), and pets with names (Fluffy) are all proper nouns.
This activity helps students recognize how proper nouns differ from common nouns by focusing on capitalization and specificity.
