Default grammar practice tips and some questions about part of speech ?

i am confused to understand grammar specially types of everything these are very boring, So please guide me seniors that how i can practice grammar more and more so that i may write well and present my ideas in a better way,
My problem is that sometimes i confuse in grammar For Example : (boy) is a common noun and (Ali) is a proper noun.
but when we say (laptop) it is a common noun and (HP laptop) is a proper noun but laptop is also a machine so when we say machine then it is a common noun if we say laptop then it is a proper noun how we can clear this kind of concept.

There are plenty of games, quizzes and videos available on the Internet for a serious student of English grammar. There are apps available as well.

I don't understand how you can claim that 'laptop' can be called a proper noun in your given example. A proper noun refers to something very specific, usually a name, and is denoted with a capital letter.

Thanks for your reply I am giving you another example so that you can understand my confusion.
palace is a common noun and Taj Mahal is proper noun. But when we give example of a (Building) then it is a common noun. palace is also a building we know this fact So here why palace is a common noun.
