Because table names are stored in uppercase in the dictionary. Lowercase characters are special characters. If you converted a Microsux table to Oracle, the tablename is in lower case and you need to enclose in double quotes.
For the rest of your way too elementary questions I strongly urge you to read the documentation, starting with the Oracle Concepts Manual.
