    Hello, OnyxJaune8500!

    A proper noun is used to name specific people, places, and things. It is recognizable by the capital letter at the beginning of the word.

    Examples of proper nouns are the football player Messi, the city of Paris, and the famous sports movie Moneyball.

    A common noun also refers to people, places, and things. However, it is not specific and does not start with a capital letter.

    Instances of common nouns are a goalie, a park, and a helmet.
