I can identify proper nouns in a sentence.

1
Common nouns name general people, places, or things, while proper nouns name specific people, places, or things.
2
Common nouns start with a lowercase letter, but proper nouns always start with a capital letter.
3
The word month is a common noun, but January is a proper noun because it names a specific month.
