Question

Answer

“Common sense” means that something is perceived as reasonable by most of the population. There is a very good definition at Wikipedia: is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things that is shared by ("common to") nearly all people and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without need for debate.

Answer

Common sense is like a shared knowledge that everyone has. 
For example, the stove is on. It's common sense that tells you, don't place your hand on that stove. 
Just think about things that everyone should know like, don't text while you're driving or look both ways before you cross the street. These things are just common sense. I hope that helped.
