No, the word 'able' is an adjective, a word that describes a noun as having sufficient power or resources to accomplish something.

  • example: George is able to come by train.
The adjective 'able' is functioning as the predicate adjective, which restates the noun 'George', following the linking verb 'is', telling something about the noun.

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

  • When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train.
The pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'George' in the second part of the sentence.
