I love to eat many different types of foods. I often eat Italian food at home because my family's country of origin is Italy. We like to eat pasta, eggplant parmesan, and manicotti. But, my favorite food that my dad actually makes from scratch is tacos. I put taco meat, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, and taco sauce on my tacos. I love tacos! Another food that I love to eat is sushi. My boyfriend and I get sushi for dinner at least once a week. Chinese food is one of my other favorite types of foods. I usually get chicken and broccoli from Chinese food restaurants. As you can see, I love to eat many different types of foods!

Grammar Point
Common nouns are words used to name general items and places rather than specific ones. Two examples of common nouns that I used are "food" and "home." Common nouns are also general names that are not given names or official titles. For example, the name "Jane Smith" is a proper noun because it is a given name. If you were to refer to Jane as "Professor Smith" this is also a proper noun because it is Jane's official title. But, if you were to refer to Jane as "teacher" you would be using a common noun. Common nouns are usually not capitalized unless they are part of an official title or beginning a sentence.
