Using pronouns in writing and conversation shortens sentences and makes them flow more smoothly. For example:
Sandy got a new puppy. Sandy's new puppy got Sandy's new puppy's paws in the mud and tracked Sandy's new puppy's muddy footprints all over Sandy'skitchen floor.
OR
Sandy got a new puppy. Her new puppy got his paws in the mud and tracked his muddy footprints all over her kitchen floor.

The antecedent of a third person pronoun is a noun for which the pronoun substitutes. This antecedent is the closest noun that agrees in number and gender with the pronoun and precedes the pronoun in the speech or writing that includes the pronoun.

No, a pronoun does not have an adjective unless you wish to describe the pronoun. Most pronouns are used without adjectives. Some examples:Mona is my best friend, she is from Florida. (the noun friend gets the adjective best, the pronoun she doesn't need further description)They live on the corner of my street. (the noun street gets the adjective my, the pronoun they doesn't require a description)I forgot to bring my lunch again, silly me. (the adjective silly describes the pronoun me)
