Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Proper or Common Nouns? worksheet
Let’s go through each word one by one and decide if it’s a Proper Noun or a Common Noun.

Remember:
- Proper nouns are names of specific people, places, brands, or things — they always start with a capital letter.
- Common nouns are general words for things, people, or ideas — they usually don’t start with a capital (unless at the beginning of a sentence).

Here’s the list from the table:

1. McDonald’s → This is a specific restaurant brand → Proper Noun
2. Antonio → A person’s name → Proper Noun
3. car → General thing → Common Noun
4. Karla → A person’s name → Proper Noun
5. scissors → General object → Common Noun
6. mother → General family role → Common Noun *(unless used as a name like “Mom”, but here it’s lowercase)*
7. Spain → Country name → Proper Noun
8. uncle → General family role → Common Noun
9. paper → General material → Common Noun
10. Toyota → Car brand → Proper Noun
11. America → Country name → Proper Noun
12. balloon → General object → Common Noun
13. shoes → General clothing → Common Noun
14. teacher → General job → Common Noun
15. Domino’s → Pizza brand → Proper Noun
16. Sara → Person’s name → Proper Noun
17. Argentina → Country name → Proper Noun
18. BellaVista → Likely a place or brand name → Proper Noun
19. copybook → General school item → Common Noun
20. street → General place → Common Noun

Now let’s sort them into two groups:

Proper Nouns:
McDonald’s, Antonio, Karla, Spain, Toyota, America, Domino’s, Sara, Argentina, BellaVista

Common Nouns:
car, scissors, mother, uncle, paper, balloon, shoes, teacher, copybook, street
