Answer:

A common noun is the generic name for a person, place, or thing in a class or group. Unlike proper nouns, a common noun is not capitalized unless it either begins a sentence or appears in a title. A proper noun is a name of someone/something which denotes a particular person/thing. It always begins with a capital letter. Example of Proper Noun: Alex is a wonderful player.
