Explanation:

- Proper Nouns are capitalized because they refer to specific entities (e.g., a person's name, a city, a company, etc.).
- Common Nouns are not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence or are part of a title. They refer to general categories or types of things.

This classification helps distinguish between specific and general names, which is a fundamental concept in grammar.
