“Okay, Hannah! can you tell me the answer. Hannah: the words are closely related to each
other.

“Very good! Hannah”

Let us clap our hands for Hannah.

According to Hannah the words are closely related to

each other.

Another one..

Ted: The words are type of nouns.

“Okay, Ted! what is your answer.”

“Yes! that’s right. There are type of nouns and in this

lesson, we will further discuss about the types of
nouns which are common nouns and proper nouns.

C. Lesson Proper

Presentation

Now class, let us know what a common noun is.

Everyone please read. A common noun is the general, non-

specific term for a person, place,
thing or idea.

Usually, common nouns are not capitalized unless

they begin a sentence.

What about proper nouns?

A proper noun is specific, unique
person, place, things, or idea. Unlike
Everyone please read. common nouns, proper nouns are
always capitalized.
 Yes, teacher, whether they begin a
“Mara, Do you think it’s true?” sentence or not, proper nouns are
always capitalized.

That’s right. Now class, from what your classmate

said earlier. Those words in our activity are closely
related.

What do you think is the relationship of common

nouns and proper nouns?

Anyone..
Nico: Every common noun has an
equivalent of proper noun
Okay, Nico!

I think some of you are still confused with the proper

nouns and common nouns.

Listen class, the relationship maybe you can think

about proper nouns as specific examples of common
nouns.

Let us have another example.

Now, look at this word.

What is the first word?

church

Church is common noun. St. Ferdinand Cathedral Parish

Can you give an example of

church.

Very good! that is what we called

proper nouns.

Another example.. Attorney. Panganiban

person

Can you give an example of a

person’s name?

it seems like you already know the

difference between the common
 noun and proper noun. And
remember that, the difference
between the two is what type of
things they are referring to.

Common nouns are the generic

things, while proper nouns is the
specific things.

D. Application

I hope you learned a lot from our discussion.

Now, let us have an activity. I want you to pick
the flashcards you placed in our previous
activity.

I will group you into two,then you will answer

your activity in just 5 minutes then later, I will
call each of your representative to answer your
group work.

Pupils: Everyone should cooperate

(The teacher will give an
instruction and remind pupils of
the group norm)

What should we do when doing an activity?

Pupils: Everyone should minimize the noise
Okay, very good! Everyone should cooperate.

What else do we have to remember when doing a

group activity?

Everyone should minimize the noise.

I hope you will cooperate with your groupmates

and minimize your noise.

You may now begin doing your group work.

Activity:

Identify if it’s a common noun or a proper noun

then place it to new columns.

That’s great! Well done class! I can see that you really
understand our lesson for today.

E. Generalization

(Teacher will again explain what common noun and

proper noun is)

We learned that common and

proper noun can be used in relation to each other or
separately.

Can someone sum up our discussion for today?

Okay, Hannah! Ted: If it’s proper noun

Very good!

What about you Ted? When

do we use capital letters?

Usually, common nouns are not

capitalized unless they begin a
sentence.
 Every noun is either a common or proper noun. It is not
difficult to tell the difference between common and
proper nouns. It's important to know the difference
because we need to capitalize proper nouns in English.
