CBSE Class 6 English Nouns Proper and Common Worksheet

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.

There are two basic kinds of nouns: common nouns and proper nouns.

A common noun names any person, place, thing, or idea.

A proper noun names a particular person, place, thing, or idea. It may consist of one or more words. Always begin a proper noun with a capital letter. If a proper noun has more than one word, capitalize the first word and all the important words.
