Is rains pronoun

Answer 1

No, the word 'rains' is a verb and a noun.

• The verb 'rains' is the third person, singular, present of the verb to rain, meaning to fall in drops from the clouds; to pour down; to give abundantly; a word for an action.
• The noun 'rains' is the plural form of the singular noun rain (an uncountable plural noun) as a word for the regional season of heavy precipitation.

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

Examples:

It always rains on the day I wash my car. (verb)

The annual rains will come soon. They start this time of year. (noun; the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the noun 'rains' in the second sentence)

Answer 2

Yes, "rains" can be a pronoun when used as a substitute for a noun in a sentence. For example, "The rains in Africa are plentiful this year." In this case, "rains" is used as a pronoun to represent the idea of rainfall.
