Proper Nouns

A proper noun is a special kind of noun.  When something has its own name, the name is called a proper noun.  Proper nouns are names, nicknames, the name of your school, and the names of the city and state in which you live.

Proper nouns start with a capital letter.  Look for the proper nouns in this sentence.  Billy said he would enjoy going to Canton, Ohio for his vacation.  The proper nouns are Billy, Canton, and Ohio.

Capital letters say,  "This noun is different and special from other nouns."
