The word 'the' is not a pronoun. The word 'the' is an article.

An article 'the' is used with nouns to limit or specify that noun as a specific one.

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

Examples:

Where is the key for the desk?

It is in the vase on theshelf.

  • The pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'key' in the previous sentence.
  • The article 'the' specifies a specific key for a specific desk, and a specific vase on a specific shelf.
