**Peter** and **Jerusalem** are both *proper* nouns. **Peter** is a *proper* noun because it is the name of a specific person,
|
|
and **Jerusalem** is a *proper* noun because it names a specific city. The opposite of a *proper* noun is a *common* noun.
|
|
The nouns *man* and *city* are both *common* nouns because they are both general and do not name a specific man or specific city.
