The noun 'piece' is a common noun because it is a general word for:

  • a part separated from a group or a whole (any part);
  • an example or specimen of a style or type (any example);
  • a unit used in Board Games (any unit);
  • an individual object of a particular type (any object).

If a noun is not a common noun, it is a proper noun.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing.

Examples:

  • Would you like a piece of candy? (piece and candy are common nouns)
  • Would you like a piece of Hershey Kisses? (piece is a common noun, Hershey Kisses is a proper noun, the name of a specific candy)
