It is used to name general items rather than specific ones. Let us learn more about common noun through this article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/spoken-english-course\/\">Speak confidently and fluently with our Spoken English Course!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Common_Noun\"><\/span><strong>What is Common Noun?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A noun is a word that names a person, animal, place, thing, or idea. All nouns are further classified as a proper or common noun. Common nouns refer to terms that are used to name people, places, animals, birds, , objects, ideas etc. Most of the things we see around us fall under this type of noun.<\/p>\n<p>How can we differentiate between a common noun and a proper noun?<\/p>\n<p>A common noun is a general way of classifying something, and a proper noun is a specific way of classifying something. For example, think of a cat named Tom. Here cat is a common noun whereas Tom comes under proper noun.<\/p>\n<p>Common nouns are not usually capitalized, unless they begin a sentence, whereas proper nouns are normally capitalized. This is the easiest way to distinguish between a proper and common noun.\u00a0 These nouns are only capitalized at the start of a sentence<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Usage_of_Common_Nouns\"><\/span><strong>Usage of Common Nouns<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Common nouns are used to denote a general class of objects or a concept. They\u00a0 can be concrete (perceptible to the senses), abstract (involving general ideas or qualities), or collective (referring to a group or collection). These nouns are used when describing something broad or ambiguous.<\/p>\n<p>Let us consider the following examples:<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>girl<\/strong> is crossing the street &#8211; Here girl is a common noun because it doesn&#8217;t speak about anything specific.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sara<\/strong> is crossing the street &#8211; Here Sara is a proper noun because her name has been specifically mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Common nouns can occupy almost any role of a noun in a sentence: subject, direct object, indirect object, objective complement, predicate nominative, object of a preposition, or appositive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/spoken-english-course-in-malayalam\/\">Join our Spoken English program today and communicate with
