By Nouns, Capital letters

Hi Vin, Yes, that's what I mean. I note your optional article in example (a). If "Sports Day" is treated as a proper noun, as the capital letters suggest, you would not use an article. It would be like saying, "Last Friday was a Christmas." Best wishes, - A.

Thank you, CB, for taking time to answer my question. I thought I was looking at an example where no adjective is involved but that has only a proper name. What is the justification for the placement of an article here? Please follow a Recommended List of Proper Behavior. To me, the words...
