What is the common noun in the sentence, “When Carlene is hungry, she makes a sandwich.”

English

TLDR: The common noun is "sandwich".

A common noun is a person, place, or thing that isn't being described specifically. A proper noun is a person, place, or thing that is being described specifically. For example:

A house (CN), versus The White House (PN)

A Meatball Marinara (PN) versus a footlong sub (CN)

New York City (PN) versus The Big Apple (PN) versus a city (CN)

Proper nouns can typically be identified by being capitalized, however this may not always be the case! However, in this example, it is.

Start by looking for nouns - this sentence contains two, Carlene and sandwich. A sandwich is a common noun because it is generic, whereas Carlene is being specific - we're talking about a particular girl who happens to like sandwiches. Therefore, "sandwich" was the common noun in this sentence.

Hope this helps!
