Explanation:

- Proper Nouns are capitalized because they refer to specific entities. For example, "Ms. Casey" is a specific person, "Mankato" is a specific city, and "Friday" is a specific day.
- Common Nouns are not capitalized (unless at the beginning of a sentence) because they refer to general categories. For example, "boy" refers to any male child, "table" refers to any piece of furniture, and "eraser" refers to any tool used for erasing.

This classification helps distinguish between specific and general terms in language.
