Yes, apart from Proper Noun, all other forms of Nouns, including Collective Noun, Concrete Noun, Abstract Noun, Countable Noun, etc. can be Common Nouns. As long as they do not refer to anything specific, all these types of Nouns can be considered Common Noun.

As opposed to the Common Nouns, Proper Noun refers to someone, some place or something specific. The Proper Noun has to be written in a capital letter, irrespective of whether the sentence starts with that or not. On the other hand, Common Nouns are generic terms and do not need to be written in capital letters, unless it is placed at the beginning of the sentence. For example:
Siya is the topper in her class.
Here, Siya is the Proper Noun, and topper and class are Common Nouns.

Like the name suggests, Common Nouns refer to any living or non-living beings, places, or abstract ideas or thoughts. As long as a word is not named anything specific, it is considered to be a Common Noun.

One of the easiest ways learn about one words substitution is to use a systematic plus memory-friendly approach rather than just cramming the list of all the commonly used one words substitution. The practical step-by-step method to learn them is:
- Instead of learning them randomly, group them by theme or categories such as people or professions, actions, places, conditions
- Try to link the word to a funny or vivid image in your mind
- Learn in small batches such as 10 words per day. Try to keep a weekly review to strengthen the words learnt so far
- Try to use one words substitution in daily conversation or writing
- Practice the questions on one

Synonyms and One Word Substitution often seem same as both deal with replacing the words or phrases, but they are different in usage and scope. One words substitution replaces an entire phrase or sentence with a single, precise word that conveys the same meaning. An example of this is A person who loves books – Bibliophile. On the other hand, Synonyms have the same or nearly same meaning as another word in the given context.
