Explanation:

A noun is a word that names a thing, a person, a place, or an idea. There are different types of nouns, such as proper nouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns, etc. The nouns we found in the sentences above are all common nouns, which means they refer to things or people in general. Common nouns are contrasted with proper nouns, which refer to something or someone in particular. Proper nouns begin with capital letters. Let's compare:

- day (common noun)

- Monday (proper noun)

- boy (common noun)

- Jacob (proper noun)
