Proper noun  A proper noun is a person, place, or thing. That can further be classified as common or proper. A proper noun names a specific item, and will always be capitalized. Dallas is an example of a proper noun.

Subject  The subject is the main part of a sentence. It is usually at the beginning and it tells you who or what the sentence is about. The subject can be a person, or an object.
