    In a recent post we discussed the differences between a common noun and a proper noun.

    In short:

    -    A common noun is a non-specific person, place or thing.

     

    For example: dog, house, oven

    -    A proper noun is a specific person, place or thing.

     

    For example: Fido, Burger King, Statue of Liberty

    Are there cases, though, where a noun can be both a proper noun and a common noun?

    Yes, there are.

    Is it Mom or mom?

    When to use a capital letter is tricky, especially when it comes to family nouns, such as mom, dad, aunt, cousin, grandma.

     

    When you should use lower case letters: mom

    A good tip to work out if the noun is a common or proper noun is to look at the word that comes before it.

    If that word is a pronoun or an article, don’t capitalize the noun.

    I'' is noun or pronoun

    It will be a common noun.

    For example:

     

    I love that dog. Will you ask your friend to come play? Her dad likes to play tennis.

    When you should capitalize the first letter: Mom

    If the noun is used as a substitute for the person’s name, you should capitalize the first

      is mother a noun
