Nouns are naming words.
A noun is a word that names a person, place or thing.
There are two types of nouns

Proper Nouns: The name of a person place or thing. eg

• your name
• the name of the place where you live
• names of days of the week and months

Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.

Common Nouns:  A general name for a person, place or thing.

• boy
• town
• dog
• table
• pencil

Common nouns don't need a capital letter unless they are at the beginning of a sentence.
