Proper Noun and Common Noun

do you know that
a noun is a word that names a person, place, thing and idea?

now that you already did,
it is a must to know how to classify each noun.
 ...
since noun is a word that names everything,
we have to be specific to what we say, 
and moreover to what we write
so the reader
can
understand
us
instantly
...
if we want to emphasize important points, 
we write it in all capital letters
but if we communicate in a
formal and polite
manners,
we can use
capital or uppercase
to the first letter of the word
and maybe this is where it all began, 
a
 usually?
yes!!!
are you familiar with the following?
and the list goes on
they are actual brand names
but due to whatever reasons or just a simple marketing strategy,
we have to write it down the way they wanted it to be.
respect is a given-noun-name for it
 just like our names written in capital letter.
yes, all the name of a person is a proper noun

Ara, Bea, Cez, Dee, Eia, Fei, Gie, Hei, Iya, Jai, Kel, Lei. Mae, Nea, Oda, Pia,
Que, Rae, Sab, Tia, Uma, Via, Wyn, Yna, Zia 

whatta name!

and it also goes on to the name of our favorite

and
all
the 
places
you can
tell the
exact name
are also proper nouns
 Paris, Disneyland, Gigantes Island, Japan, Hollywood Boulevard, Sydney Harbour Bridge, 
Boracay, Lake Tekapo, Amazon River, Mount Taal

buying souvenirs to the places we've visited
can bring back the memories
and happiness
...just a passing thought of mine...

anything with a specific name 
that you can
see, touch, hear, smell and taste
in every places you go
is
a
proper noun
 Nikon D810 Camera, Aurora Diamante Fontane Pen, Vittel Bottled Water,
Rafe New York Bag, Nivea Lip Care, Baron Fig Notepad, Yamaha Mio Motorcycles,
Johnson Baby Cologne, Bose Speaker System
and there's a lot of things you can think of
but 
don't 
get
the idea that all the words that begins 
in capital letters are proper noun.

why is that? 

remember, when a noun became specific, 
that name the actual
person, place and thing
it's a proper noun

so 
what
about common noun?


or simply how we name
a
person
place
thing
idea
when we do not know their actual name
let's say, you want to thank the mother of your classmate Lovella
but you didn't know her mother's name 
so what you can do is to tell Lovella that

"Lovella, please tell your mother that I am grateful to her in helping us with our Science Investicatory Project.

so mother is a common name and so with
father, brother, sister, sibling, family,
cousin, aunt, uncle, grandfather, grandmother,
godmother, godfather, relatives,
boys, girls, friends,
farmer, teacher, manager,
nurse,  governor,
learner
...et cetera...

may i ask you where are you reading right now?
well, at home probably
if not maybe at the
park
mall
cafe
canteen
library
shop
school
i' will be guessing here
endlessly
because i don't even know what
continent
country
state
region
city
town
street
you might be
but
what's important is that
you are reading
now  using
a
laptop
tablet
cellphone
 having things around you like
mouse
speaker
keyboard
books
pens
bag
table
chair
drinks
food
and a thousand things
you got there
i really don't have any idea
but naming an idea is a common noun
just like
comprehension
despair
hope
appreciation
similarity
discovery 
friendship
harmony

i hope things get clear now about common noun 
and not all common noun have 
a corresponding
proper noun
 simply
because
there
are
nouns
that
we don't have an actual names
like
dust

and
you are free
to
think
of
another
example
!!! 


Noun



huh?
let me try to explain it further for you.
...
take a look at the pictures below.


but actually it is not, simply because noun is a word.
 ...
 yes, 
a noun is just a word!
 let me clear it first,
most of us thought that 
noun is what we see around us 
or what we feel
or something we think about 
because it is not.
...
noun is word that name 
a person, place, thing and idea.
...
...a...
...word...
...that...
...name...
which mean that 
it is not the actual
person
place
thing
idea
...
 so everything that
we see, hear, smell, taste, touch, think or feel
we
can
put 
a
name
on 
it
that is a noun
... 
person
...father, teacher, friend...
... Rajah Lapu-Lapu...
...Miin, Jamillah, Kisha...
...Iannyssa Cleia, Kenzo, Xerielle Joyce...
...Rouise, Lilo, Megrito...
...Lilay... 
place
...home, school, church, playground, theme park...
... Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene...
 ...Passion Learning School...
...J.P. Rizal Avenue...
...Pastor Farm...
 thing
...paper, scissor, rock...
...Hacienda La Esmeralda Coffee...
...Triple Eight Sugar...
 ...Maharlika Rice...
 ..Ninay Doll...
 idea
...hope, joy, friendship...
..love, courage, peace...
...freedom, liberty, bravery...
 ...anger, hate, despair...
 ...respect, appreciation, gratitude...
 ........
well, i hope this could help and not add more
confusement
and
that
is
a
noun
a word that name 
how we feel
 if we cannot understand
something
...
