Proper Nouns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the identification and capitalization of proper nouns. Students are presented with a list of words and phrases that are currently uncapitalized, and they must discern which ones are proper nouns requiring capitalization. The words range from company names to holidays and geographical locations. The instructions are clear: circle the words that are proper nouns, signaling that they should be capitalized.

The aim of the worksheet is to sharpen students’ ability to recognize proper nouns, which are always capitalized in English. It challenges them to distinguish between common nouns, which do not require capitalization, and proper nouns, which do. By providing a mix of proper and common nouns, the worksheet offers practical exercises in applying capitalization rules. This reinforces the concept that proper nouns, like names of people, places, organizations, and specific things, should start with a capital letter.
