Learn to use proper Nouns to build clearer English sentences.

Let’s understand it

A proper noun is the specific name of a person, place, or organization.

The building rule

Start proper nouns with capital letters.

See it in a sentence

Rahul lives in Mumbai.

We visit India.

Names need capitals, not all singular nouns

city → Delhi; boy → Evan; country → India; river → Ganga; school → IOTech Computer Center.
Delhi is capitalized because it is a proper noun, not because it is singular. Common nouns such as boy, book, city and car normally stay lowercase inside a sentence.
Start with people and places. Later include Monday, January, English, Indian and organization names.

Use this rule: write and correct

Try first. Hints become more specific after each attempt. Your attempts and corrections are saved with your existing writing progress.
