Read about the Proper Noun at supergrammar.com
The Proper Noun can change into any person, place or thing that has a specific (proper) name, like: Douglas Bader, Gorseland or Ipswich Town Football Club. This means that The Proper Noun will always start with a capital letter.
The Proper Noun is a member of The Noun Team. Together with his Noun Team partner, The Common Noun, these two heroes are always ready to give your sentences everything that they've got.
