The nouns are those that refer to a specific concept, both material and mental.

• Common nouns. They name all the things we know, the words that we use to designate them. For example: dog, table, plane. In turn, common nouns can be concrete or abstract.
• Nouns. Unlike the common ones, they specifically designate certain entities that are singular, unique. For example:Argentina, Cancun, Pablo, Julieta.

If we say table, we are alluding to a generic object represented by countless copies in the world of different types (wooden, plastic, with wheels, mouse, round, oval, white, brown, etc.).

If we say ItalyWe are referring to a specific northern European country. And precisely for this reason, proper nouns, unlike common ones, generally do not vary in number, although there are some exceptional situations, as indicated in the following paragraph.

The most traditional proper nouns are the names of people, countries or institutions, but not the only ones: in reality, any name that identifies something specific, such as a trademark, a given geographical feature (a certain river, mountain, gulf, peninsula), to a city, to a town, it will be a proper noun or proper noun.

Proper nouns must always be written with the initial letter capitalized, regardless of their location within the sentence.

Both anthroponymic proper nouns (referring to people) and toponymic nouns (referring to geographic places), as well as brands, nicknames, institutions, names of mythological beings, fictional characters, planets and stars are considered proper nouns and are capitalized.
