Question

Which statement is true about common and proper nouns?

Answer 1

1. D

2. B

1.  a common noun does not usually begin with a capital letter

and a proper noun does . A proper noun is not more polite than a common noun, so the answer is D. A proper noun is MORE specific than a common noun

2. B. it would be brought.  A is not correct because it is saying u brought u diary everyday except for today. C is not correct because bringing is present and Bring is past tense but it is saying that i'll bring my diary TOMORROW which makes it present

Answer 2

In the first question, the answer is - D. A - cannot be the correct answer as common nouns (such as - chair, computer, desk) don't have to be written in capital letters. And regarding B, proper nouns (such as John, Thames. America) always have to begin with a capital letter. C - is simply incorrect, using proper nouns, that is, names, isn't more polite than saying, for example, a wall.

Regarding the second question, the answer is - B. It is the only sentence in which the past simple tense of the verb "to bring" is used. The first example uses the present perfect tense (which isn't a past tense), C - present continuous, and D - future simple.
