They are a type of noun that is used to name specific people, places, organizations, and things. Unlike common nouns, which are more general and refer to a class or category, proper nouns pinpoint individual entities. In this blog, we will delve into the definition of proper nouns, explore the rules governing their usage, and provide examples to enhance your understanding.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">What is a Proper Noun?<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A proper noun is a word used to identify a unique, specific person, place, thing, or organization. It always begins with a capital letter, regardless of its position in a sentence. Proper nouns distinguish particular entities from others within a category.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\"><strong>Rules for Proper Nouns<\/strong>:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Capitalization:<\/mark><\/strong> Proper nouns are always capitalized.
