A noun is the name of something-- a person, place, thing or idea. Nouns are used for subject and objects of verbs and prepositions. A pronoun substitutes for a noun.

Example:

The boy fed his dog with a can of dog-food. He gave her all she would eat.

boy, dog , can and dog-food are nouns. He, she and her are pronouns.
