No, the word 'they' is a pronoun, a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing in a sentence. The pronoun 'they' takes the place of a plural noun or two or more nouns as the subject of a sentence or a clause.

The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.

Example:

The Lincolns came to visit and they brought the baby with them. (the pronoun 'they' as a subject and the pronoun 'them' as an object take the place of the noun 'Lincolns' in the second part of the sentence.

The pronoun 'they' is a personal pronoun, the third person, plural, subjective. The pronoun 'they' takes the place of a plural noun, or two or more nouns as the subject of a sentence. Examples:


The boys will be home any minute and they will want some lunch.

Jim, June, and the boys are coming for lunch. Theywill be here at one.
