Proper and Common

Read the sentences given below:
I am a girl.
My name is Mary.

Both girl and Mary are nouns. When we say girl, it can be any girl. However when we say Mary, we say about one particular girl. So girl is a Common noun. Mary is a Proper noun.

Remember:- A proper noun always begins with a capital. John, Nine, France.
A common noun begins with a capital only if it is the first word of a sentence.
