普通名词

a noun referring to a class of people, places, or things, rather than to a specific individual (e.g., 'dog', 'city', 'happiness')

:
In the sentence 'The dog barked loudly,' 'dog' is a common noun.
在句子“那只大声吠叫”中,“狗”是一个普通名词
Unlike proper nouns, common nouns are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence.
与专有名词不同,普通名词除非在句首,否则不需大写。
