Nouns are words for people, places, and things.

Nous function as the subject of a sentence or a clause, or as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Pronouns take the place of nouns in a sentence. The function of pronouns in a sentence is the same as nouns.

Examples:

Noun as subject: John brought Jane a bouquet of flowers.

Noun as subject of a clause: The flowers that John brought are for Jane.

Noun as direct object: John brought Jane a bouquet of flowers.

Noun as indirect object: John brought Jane a bouquet of flowers.

Noun as object of a preposition: John brought Jane a bouquet of flowers.

Pronoun as subject: He brought Jane a bouquet of flowers.

Pronoun as subject of a clause: The flowers that he brought are for Jane.

Pronoun as direct object: John brought her to the party.

Pronoun as object of the preposition: John came to the party with her.
