The word 'they' is not a noun.

The word 'they' is a pronoun, a personal pronoun; a word that takes the place of a plural noun or nouns for two or more people or things as the subject of a sentence or a clause.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

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

Examples:

  • The Jameses are our new neighbors. They have two children. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the plural noun 'Jameses' as the subject of the second sentence)
  • Grandma made cookies for Jack and Jill. They love Grandma's cookies. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the nouns 'Jack and Jill' as the subject of the second sentence)
  • I saw the shoes I want to wear with my new dress but they are very expensive. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the noun 'shoes' as the subject of the second part of the sentence)
