taught a new lesson is the answer
Common nouns are words that name general people, places, things or ideas. Proper nouns name a specific person, place or thing. For example, teacher is a common noun and 'Miss Bernard' is a proper noun. Proper nouns begin with a capital letter whereas the first letter of a common noun is not capitalized. From the given options, Option D is correct because 'teacher' names a general person and 'lessons' names a general thing hence they're common nouns. Option A is incorrect because teacher is a common noun, but lessons is not a proper noun as it does not refer to a specific lesson. Option B is incorrect, these words refer to a general person and thing, hence they're not proper nouns. Option C is incorrect as 'teacher' is not a proper noun, it does not name a particular person.
ANS:The teacher has taught
