	Grammar: Common Nouns    Nouns are words that tell you the names of people, places, things, or ideas in whatever you are reading. A noun can have two forms, singular (one) or plural (more than one). There are two types of nouns, common and proper. A common noun is talking about something in general and does not begin with a capital letter.    Example: town, dog, man List ten common nouns.    1. ______________________    2. ______________________    3. ______________________    4. ______________________    5. ______________________    6. ______________________    7. ______________________    8. ______________________    9. ______________________  10. ______________________   Circle the common nouns in the paragraph.      Sunset is the time of day where our sky meets the outer space solar winds. There are blue, pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting like a cloud of balloons caught in a blender. The sun moves slowly beyond the horizon, while the moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a crawl, entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that still must get done. There is a coolness… a calmness… whenever the sun does set.   Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter because it is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or idea.    Examples: Charles                        Boston                        February   In each sentence circle the proper noun.    1. Robert does not like to go to work on the weekends.    2. I lived in Florida for many years.    3. The country of Great Britain is very nice in the summer.    4. My dog's name is Clarence.    5. Saturday is my favorite day in the week.

Brainstorming can help you narrow down a topic that has too much information available, broaden a topic that has little known information, and organize your ideas on a particular subject. Here is an example of a cluster. Robert is writing about friends.
