The part of speech that substitutes for nouns or noun phrases and designates persons or things asked for, previously specified, or understood from the context.

Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun. When we use pronouns, we don't have to repeat the same noun every time we refer to it.

For example:

Mary and John bought a new house. Mary and John have asked for volunteers to help paint Mary and John's new house.

OR, using pronouns:

Mary and John bought a new house. They have asked for volunteers to help paint their new house.
