What is a proper noun?

Today we will learn what is a proper noun in English grammar. A proper noun is a special name given to a common noun.

Such as:
1). People (man, woman, boy, girl) are common nouns but when we give a specific name to a person then it is called a proper noun. e.g.: Rohan, Rahul, Nikki, etc.

2). Animal (dog, cat, lion, tiger, cow) are common nouns but when people give a special name to an animal then it is called a proper noun. e.g.: Tommy, Bruno, Tuffy,

3). Similarly, all places (country, city, street, school, building, hotel, park) are also common nouns but when they are given a special name then that name is called a proper noun. e.g.: India, Delhi, London, Taj Hotel, Red Fort, City Park, Disneyland, Fountain Chowk, etc.

The first letter of a proper noun is always capital. e.g.- Rohan, Babita, India, America, Tokyo, Tommy, April, May, Sunday, Monday, Audi, BMW, Google, Yahoo, Burger King, etc.
