A
For example:
Jason,
Town Hall, China, French, The Wishing Chair
Because they are special and individual names, they start with a
capital
letter and, apart from people,
most of these things have
only one proper name.
1.2 Activities: proper nouns
Students could do the following:
1. Draw a large simple flowchart in their grammar exercise books. It
should have four lines, since we have four kinds of nouns. We fill in
the first two and add the remaining two later on.
Students choose their own example to add below each class head-
ing. Remember that all the proper nouns must start with a capital
letter.
2. Name the members of their family. This may be done in the form of
a family tree. For example:
3. Write answers naming, for example:
a.
a friend
b. a fish

4. Draw a real or imaginary ‘mud map’ and label it with names of
streets. Add and label with a name: a bridge, a river, a person, a hill,
a church, a shop and any more of their choice, such as a dog, a horse

Some of these exercises provide excellent group activities and can be
done in teams, and on the board. Some exercises should always be done
in the Grammar Exercise Book to serve for reference and for revision.
