A noun is a word for a person, a place, a thing, or an idea.
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
Examples:
John is my brother, he is the oldest in the family. (John is a noun, he is the pronoun taking the place of John in the second part of the sentence)
I am the youngest in the family. (I is the pronoun representing my name, the speaker doesn't use their own name in a sentence)
I am talking to you. (you is the pronoun taking the place of the name of the person I'm talking to)
Mary carried in the groceries and she put it all away. (she is the pronoun representing the noun Mary and it is the pronoun representing the noun groceries)
