What is a pronoun and a common noun?

Answer 1

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

A common noun is a general word for a person, place, or thing.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing,

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

Examples:

My sister made the pie. She is a good cook.

• the noun 'sister' is a common noun, word for a person;
• the noun 'pie' is a common noun, a word for a thing;
• the noun 'cook' is a common noun, a word for a person;
• the pronoun 'she' takes the place of the noun 'sister' as the subject of the second sentence.

Chicago is not the capital but it is the largest city in Illinois.

• the noun 'Chicago' is a proper noun, the name of a specific place;
• the noun 'capital' is a common noun, a word for a thing;
• the noun 'city' is a common noun, a word for a place;
• the noun 'Illinois' is a proper noun, the name of a specific place;
• the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'Chicago' in the second part of the compound sentence.

Answer 2

A pronoun is a word that can replace a noun in a sentence, such as "he," "she," "it," or "they." A common noun is a general, non-specific noun that refers to a person, place, thing, or idea, such as "car," "dog," "city," or "love."
