          We read only four types of noun in this class.

          1.      Proper Noun:


                  Read the following sentences:


                  1.     We live in India    .

                  2.     I live in Delhi .


                  3.     Neha    sang sweetly.

                  4.     Rohan    is my friend.


                  India    is  the  name  of  one  particular

                  country, and is therefore called a proper

                  noun.


                  Meerut     is the name of a particular           city, and is therefore called a proper
                  noun.


                  Similarly, Neha      is the name of a particular            girl, and is therefore called a

                  proper noun.

                  Rohan    is the name of one particular          boy.


                  So, Rohan     is called a proper noun       .
