A noun is a word for a person, place, or thing. Everything we can see or
talk about is represented by a word that names it. That "naming" word
is called a noun. The name of a particular person, place or thing is
proper noun while all other names are common noun. For example, I have
a cat. Its name is Mano. ‘Mano’ is the name of a particular cat. So, Mano
is a proper noun, while cat is a common noun used for an animal. Now let

(proper noun) and things (common noun) beginning with the letters

The children awoke very early in the morning. Julian awoke first. It
was a marvellous day. Julian went to the window and looked out.
The sky was a very pale blue, and rosy-pink clouds floated about it.
The sea was a clear blue too, smooth and calm. Julian remembered
what Anne often said – she said that the world in the early morning
always looked as if it had come back fresh from the laundry – so
clean and new and fresh!
The children all bathed before breakfast, and this time they were
back at half-past eight, afraid that George’s father might telephone
early again. Julian saw Mrs Stick on the stairs and called her.
“Has my uncle telephoned yet?”
“No,” said the woman, in a surly tome. She had been hoping that the
telephone would ring while the children were out, then as she had
done the day before, she could answer it, and get a few words first.
‘We’ll have breakfast now, please,’ said Julian. ‘A good breakfast,
Mrs Stick. My uncle might ask us what we’d had for breakfast,
mightn’t he? You never know.’
Mrs Stick evidently thought that Julian might tell his uncle if she
gave them only bread and butter for breakfast, so very soon the
children smelt a delicious smell of bacon frying. Mrs Stick brought
in a dish of it garnished with tomatoes. She banged it on the table
with the plates. Edger arrived with a pot of tea and a tray of cups
and saucers.
