If you can put a, an or the in front of
a word, it is a common noun.
Proper nouns often stand on their own
and begin with capital letters.
Improve this passage by creating a balance of proper nouns, nouns
and pronouns, but make sure that the meaning is still clear.
Remember to change a to an if
the noun begins with a vowel,
for example: a house; an eagle
The old tree-house stood in the middle of a thick forest. Sid had
discovered the old tree house while Sid was staying with Sid’s
Grandma, and Sid had decided that the old tree-house would
be a great place for a den. Sid’s Grandma had given Sid some
old blankets, a torch and some cushions, so Sid was going to
take the old blankets, the torch and the cushions to Sid’s treehouse after lunch.

their: The bird sat on its perch.

whom, which: The baker who worked for the king …
