A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
For example:
Jack bought a new bicycle. ('Jack' is a noun, a word for a person; bicycle is a noun, a word for a thing)
He rode is bicycle to the city. ('he' is a pronoun which takes the place of the noun 'Jack'; the word 'city' is a noun, a word for a place).
It is a good bicycle. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'bicycle')
A pronoun is any word that acts as a noun. An adjective modifies a noun. The difference between a possessive adjective (my, his, her) and a possessive pronoun is that the adjective form can be used before a noun, while the pronoun form is used with a verb. The pronoun "his" is both an adjective and a pronoun, while "her" is an adjective and "hers" is a pronoun, one that could not be used before a noun (It is her ball. It is her ball.)
A demonstrative pronoun replaces a noun, while a demonstrative adjective modifies a noun. For example, in the sentence "This is my book," "this" is a demonstrative pronoun replacing the noun "book," and in the sentence "I want that book," "that" is a demonstrative adjective modifying the noun "book."
The difference between a subject noun and a subject pronoun is the difference between a noun and a pronoun.A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.A noun or a pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.EXAMPLESNoun as subject of the sentence: Aunt Jane made cookies for Jack and Jill.Pronoun as subject of the sentence: She made cookies for Jack and Jill.Noun as subject of the clause: The cookies that Aunt Jane made are for Jack and Jill.Pronoun as subject of the clause: The cookies that she made are for Jack and Jill.
A noun or pronoun after a preposition is called an object of the preposition. It typically follows the preposition in a sentence to show the relationship between the noun or pronoun and other elements in the sentence.
The word his is a pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence; his is a possessive pronoun that show something belongs to a male person. The word his is also an adjective, a word that describes a noun. Example:Possessive pronoun: Jim lost a math book, this one must be his.Adjective: Jim lost his math book.See the link below for the difference between the pronoun and the adjective.
one can be an adjective, noun, or pronoun. a is only a noun
The difference is that a predicate nominative may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, while a predicate noun must be a noun.
A pronoun is any word that acts as a noun. An adjective modifies a noun. The difference between a possessive adjective (my, his, her) and a possessive pronoun is that the adjective form can be used before a noun, while the pronoun form is used with a verb. The pronoun "his" is both an adjective and a pronoun, while "her" is an adjective and "hers" is a pronoun, one that could not be used before a noun (It is her ball. It is her ball.)
The main difference between any adjective and a pronoun is that an adjective describes a noun, a pronoun replaces a noun. This is true of a proper adjective as well. Examples:I like Asian art very much. It has been perfected over many centuries.The word 'Asian' is a proper adjective describing the type of art. The word 'it' is the pronoun that replaces the noun 'art'.
A demonstrative pronoun replaces a noun, while a demonstrative adjective modifies a noun. For example, in the sentence "This is my book," "this" is a demonstrative pronoun replacing the noun "book," and in the sentence "I want that book," "that" is a demonstrative adjective modifying the noun "book."
The difference between a subject noun and a subject pronoun is the difference between a noun and a pronoun.A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.A noun or a pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.EXAMPLESNoun as subject of the sentence: Aunt Jane made cookies for Jack and Jill.Pronoun as subject of the sentence: She made cookies for Jack and Jill.Noun as subject of the clause: The cookies that Aunt Jane made are for Jack and Jill.Pronoun as subject of the clause: The cookies that she made are for Jack and Jill.
It makes no difference if the noun antecedent is a common noun or a proper noun because that does not affect the pronoun used.
The difference is that me can be either used as a direct object pronoun or an indirect object pronoun. My is a possessive pronoun.
A verb or a preposition shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence.Examples:Jack ran home. (the verb 'ran' shows the relationship between the noun 'Jack' and the noun 'home')Jack is my brother. (the verb 'is' shows the relationship between the noun 'Jack' and the noun 'brother')Jack called me. (the verb called shows the relationship between the noun 'Jack' and the pronoun 'me')Jack made a sandwich for me. (the preposition 'for' shows the relationship between the noun 'sandwich' and the pronoun 'me')
If you meant "What is the difference between was and were?", both are the past tense of to be, but the difference is that was can only be used with a first-person singular pronoun (I), a third-person singular pronoun (he, she, or it), or with any singular noun that is alone. If it's neither of these it is were.If you meant "What is the difference between was and where?", was is the past tense of to be, and where asks the location of something, such as "Where is it?" or can be used as the start of a subordinate clause, such as "where they were".
