∙ 9y agoNo, a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun.
Some people call a noun a 'naming word' but that is a poor choice of definition for a noun. A 'name' is just one type of noun. This can be confusing for people learning grammar.
A better definition of a noun is 'a word for a person, a place, or a thing'.
Examples:
Jack leaves for work at six. He must be there at seven.
- The pronoun 'he' takes the place of the proper noun 'Jack' as the subject of the second sentence. The noun 'Jack' is a proper noun, the name of a person.
- The pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'beach' as the subject of the second sentence. The noun 'beach' is a common noun, a word for a place.
- The pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'idea', a word for a thing.
