Common and Proper Nouns

Mr. Griot introduces the concept of nouns, distinguishing between common and proper nouns. He explains that common nouns refer to general people, places, or things and are not capitalized unless at the start of a sentence. Proper nouns, however, name specific entities and are always capitalized. Through examples, students practice identifying both types of nouns. The video also covers common mistakes in noun usage and sentence editing, emphasizing the importance of capitalization and punctuation. By the end, students should be able to identify and correctly use common and proper nouns in sentences.
