Nouns and Pronouns
A noun is a person, place or thing. There are two types of nouns: proper nouns and common nouns.
A proper nown is a specific person, place or things and should always be capitalized, e.g. Jane or Joe, The Tribune, The Metropolitan Museum.
A common noun is generalized and not specific, e.g. girl or boy, newspaper or museum.
To check whether you have a noun, add an article in front of it, e.g. a girl, the boy, a newspaper, an hour.
A pronoun is a substitute for a noun. Pronouns can be in first, second and third person singular or plural.
I (singular first person), We (plural first person)
You (singular and plural second person)
He, She, It, (singular third person) They (plural third person)
