Best Answer

No, the word 'pair' is a noun (pair, pairs) and a verb (pair, pairs, pairing, paired).

Examples:

A pair of stone lions guarded the entrance of the museum. (noun)

A new employee is paired with a senior employee to learn the job. (verb)

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

A pair of stone lions guarded the entrance of the museum. They were very impressive.

(the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the noun 'pair' in the second sentence)
