Let us recall what Mrs. Galvan told Daphne about nouns.

1. Common nouns – generic names of people, places, things, and ideas. They
start with a small letter.

2. Proper nouns – specific names of people, places, things, and ideas. They
start with a big letter.
Look at some examples below!

PROPER NOUN: Luneta Park

COMMON NOUN: park

PROPER NOUN: Quezon Elementary School

COMMON NOUN: school

PROPER NOUN: Sampaguita
COMMON NOUN: flower
