A pronoun is not always a specific thing (or person); for example:
The interrogative pronouns (who, whom, what, which, whose) stand in for the answer to the question asked and represent something unknown.
The indefinite pronouns (another, anybody, anyone, anything, everyone, etc.) stand in for an unknown or unspecified person or thing.
