Jack and Jill visited Aunt Jane. She made cookies for them. (The pronoun 'she' takes the place of the name 'Aunt Jane', the pronoun 'them' takes the place of the names 'Jack and Jill'.)

We visited Paris last spring. It was lovely that time of year. (The pronoun 'it' takes the place of the name 'Paris' in the second sentence.)
