No, the word 'boy' is a noun, a word for a young, male person.

The appropriate pronouns to take the place of the noun boy are 'he' as a subject and 'him' as an object. Example use:

The boy looked hungry. He was staring at my sandwich so I gave him a half.

A simple sample paragraph with 6 lines using pronounsplease help you?

Every pronoun must first be preceded by an antecedent, that is a noun for which the pronoun is going to substitute. If I were to mention a boy, then the word 'boy' becomes the antecedent to the pronoun 'he' or 'him'. I could say 'the boy sat down', and then after always refer to him as 'he' or 'him'. For example 'he is still sitting', 'I didn't tell him to move', 'He is a very nice boy I like him'. The pronoun 'he' is for the subjective case, while 'him' is for the objective case.
