A common noun is any noun that is not a proper noun.

Form

Every noun is either masculine or feminine by its nature, often the form of a word is a strong indicator which gender it is. All nouns are either singular or plural, or in some cases dual; and they appear either in the absolute state or the construct state.

Examples

אִ֖ישׁ "man" is a common noun, but מֹשֶׁ֗ה "Moses" is not because it is a name.

• NUM 12:3

וְהָאִ֥ישׁ מֹשֶׁ֖ה ענו מְאֹ֑ד

weha'ish mosheh 'nw me'od

and-the-man Moses humble very

The truth was that Moses was a very humble person

In Hebrew, nouns do not change their form based on the function (or case) they have in a sentence (subject/nominative, direct object/accusative, etc.). They only change if they are in construct state.
