No, the word 'them' is not a noun. The word 'them' is a pronoun.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

  • The pronoun 'them' is a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person(s) or thing(s).
  • The pronoun 'them' is a plural pronoun which takes the place of a plural noun or the nouns for two or more people or things.
  • The pronoun 'them' is a third person pronoun which takes the place of a noun(s) for people or things spoken about.
  • The pronoun 'them' is an objective pronoun which takes the place of a noun as the object of a verb or a preposition.
  • The corresponding third person, plural, subjective personal pronoun is 'they'.

Example: My parents are coming for a visit. I'm expecting them at two.

No, "them" is a pronoun, not a common noun. Pronouns are used to refer to people or things without naming them specifically.
