11. 8 Identify the words that you think are nouns. The major thoroughfares were already lit by the new gas, but this was not the bright and even glare of the late Victorian period: the light flared and diminished, casting a flickering light across the streets and lending to the houses and pedestrians a faintly unreal or even theatrical quality. They are all common nouns. The word Victorian might appear at first sight to be a proper noun, because it is capitalized. But notice that it cannot take a plural -s ending (*the late Victorians period). In this sentence, it is an adjective modifying the noun period, and it is capitalized because it comes from the proper noun Victoria. In other contexts, of course, it could be used as a proper noun, as in Gladstone was an eminent Victorian, I'm reading about the Victorians.
