2. A common noun does not need a capital letter.
Common nouns name everyday things, not special names, so they start with a small letter, not a capital letter.
3. The word hat is a common noun.
The word hat does not name one special hat, just any hat, so it is a common noun.
4. The word car names a thing.
A car is something you can ride in, so car names a thing.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word big is a noun.
True False
False. The word big tells how something looks or feels, so it describes a noun instead of naming a person, place, or thing.
2. The name Mia is a proper noun.
True False
True. Mia is the special name of one person, and special names are proper nouns that begin with a capital letter.
3. A noun can name a place.
True False
True. Nouns name people, places, or things, so a place like a park or a school can be a noun.
