The word weren't is a contraction, a short form for the verb 'were' and the adverb 'not'.

The contraction were'n't functions as a verb or an auxiliary verb in a sentence.

Examples:

The Hoffmans were not home when I called.

Or: The Hoffmans weren't home when I called.

We were not expecting company.

Or: We weren't expecting company.

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

Example: The Hoffmans weren't home because they were at the beach. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the noun 'Hoffmans' in the second part of the sentence)
