Proper nouns are distinct names for specific entities. Examples for common nouns include schools like Lincoln Middle School, teachers like Mr. Smith, and rivers like the Amazon River. This identification helps in clear communication and understanding.

In understanding English grammar, it's important to distinguish between common nouns and proper nouns. A common noun is a general name for a person, place, or thing in a class or group, such as 'school,' 'teacher,' or 'city.' On the other hand, a proper noun is the specific name given to a person, place, or thing. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter.
Below are examples of proper nouns for each given common noun:
a. School i. Lincoln High School ii. St. Mary's Academy iii. Harvard University
b. Teacher i. Mr. Johnson ii. Ms. Smith iii. Dr. Thompson
c. Restaurant i. Olive Garden ii. McDonald's iii. Chipotle
d. River i. Nile River ii. Mississippi River iii. Amazon River
e. City i. New York City ii. Paris iii. Tokyo
In these examples, each proper noun specifies a particular entity out of a larger class of entities. For instance, 'Harvard University' specifies one particular school among many others, and 'Amazon River' names a specific river.
