No, the word 'but' is a conjunction, a preposition, an adverb, and a noun.

EXAMPLES:

I never win, but I keep trying. (conjunction)

All but three students passed the test. (preposition)

He is but a simple fellow. (adverb)

I'm listening to your excuse. I'm waiting for the but. (noun)

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

EXAMPLE: All but three students passed the test. They will be allowed to take it again.

  • The pronoun 'they' takes the place of the noun 'students' in the second sentence.
  • The pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'test' in the second sentence.
