What is a noun? It’s a person, place, or thing
Let’s learn about the proper and common noun as we sing
What is a noun? It’s a person, place, or thing
There are many types of nouns to this lesson we shall bring

[VERSE 1]
Let’s talk about the proper noun and its qualities
And its two main distinctive features that you’ll learn and see
Number 1: It will name a specific item, I’m sure
And number 2: It will always begin with a capital letter
In the sentence, “Earth is a planet in outer space,”
“Earth” is the proper noun ‘cause it’s talkеd about as a specific place
If you read, “Our formеr leader, Abraham Lincoln, was fun,”
The proper noun’s “Abraham Lincoln,” he’s talked about as a specific person
If you say, “I’m going to watch Kids Learning Tube,”
“Kids Learning Tube” is the proper noun and a specific thing, it’s true
Now we’ll take a look at what a common noun is
It’s a person, place, or thing that’s general or non-specific
In the sentence, “Ground is also known as earth in some countries,”
“earth” is the thing and a common noun in the sentence you see
When you read, “Our former president was a lot of fun,”
“president” is a person and common noun, you’re learning a ton
If you say, “I’m traveling to a new planet, that’s terrific!”
“planet is a place and common noun because it’s non-specific
[Chorus]

Let’s learn about the proper and common noun as we sing

[VERSE 2]
Let’s review the difference between a proper and common noun
You can do this on your own with any nouns that can be found
This is the Earth which is a proper noun because it is specific
When called a planet, it’s a common noun because it’s non-specific
Abraham Lincoln’s a person and a proper noun
If you call him president, it’s non-specific and a common noun
This country’s a proper noun when I call it Italy
But it becomes a common noun if I say it’s just a country
Here’s a list of proper and common nouns
Let’s take a look at the differences in the person, place, or thing that’s found
A common noun would be the word “man” you see
But a specific and a proper noun when the man is called “Walt Disney.”
“mountain” is a non-specific place and a common noun I found
When the mountain’s called “Mount Everest” it’s specific and a proper noun
The word “dog” is a thing and a common noun I found
If you call the dog “Spot” it’s specific and a proper noun

[Chorus]

Let’s learn about the proper and common noun as we sing
