Is it the word Filipino is one example of a common noun?

Here's why:

* Common nouns refer to general things or people, not specific individuals. Examples: dog, chair, city, teacher.

* Proper nouns name specific people, places, or things. They are always capitalized.

"Filipino" is a proper noun because it refers specifically to a person from the Philippines. It's similar to saying "American" or "Canadian."

Here's a quick way to remember:

* Common nouns are things you find in a dictionary.

* Proper nouns are things you find on a map or in a history book.
