Spelling Lists for Semester 1 Week 10

Tip of the week: Proper Nouns


Nouns are names of people, animals, places and things.


They can be divided into 2 categories - common nouns and proper nouns.


Proper nouns are nouns that refer to specific people, animals, places and things.
They begin with capital letters.


So subjects in schools are proper nouns: English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education, Music and Social Studies.


The General Office in school is also a proper noun.




Now that we've addressed a common mistake that appeared in the Advanced Composition for Week 9, let's move on to the Spelling Lists.
