Autobiography - Lesson 2 - Common Nouns and Pronouns Worksheet

In this worksheet designed for primary school students, the task is to distinguish between common nouns and proper nouns. Common nouns are general names for people, places, things, or ideas, and they are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence. Proper nouns, on the other hand, are specific names for particular people, places, organizations, or sometimes things, and they always start with a capital letter. The worksheet provides a list of words that the students must categorize into the correct column.

Students are presented with a variety of words such as 'globe', 'theatre', 'Nissan', 'planet', 'car', 'country', 'builder', 'Hull City F.C.', 'Peter', 'table', 'Jupiter', 'book', and 'France'. They must sort these words into two groups: common nouns and proper nouns. For example, 'globe' and 'theatre' would be classified as common nouns, while specific names like 'Nissan', 'Hull City F.C.', 'Peter', 'Jupiter', and 'France' are proper nouns. This exercise helps students to understand the difference between general and specific terms, an important aspect of grammar and writing.
