Explain the difference between a proper noun and a common noun, providing an example of each.

A proper noun is a specific name (e.g., Mary), while a common noun is a general term for a thing or person (e.g., chair).

I can identify the eight parts of speech in a sentence.

A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea; examples include table, John, and happiness.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun, such as large, small, or red, and it usually comes before the noun in English.

A pronoun replaces a noun to avoid repetition; examples of pronouns are I, you, he, she, and it.
