Is the word Her a proper noun?

Answer 1

No, the word 'her' is not a noun.

The word 'her' is a pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

The pronoun 'her' is:

• a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a singular noun for a female as the object of a verb or a preposition.
• a possessive adjective, a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to one female.

Example uses:

I will ask Mona. I will see her in class today.

• a personal pronoun, takes the place of the noun 'Mona' as the direct object of the verb 'will see'.

I will call Mona. I have her phone number.

• a possessive adjective, takes the place of the noun 'Mona' to describe the compound noun 'phone number'.
