Is feels a pronoun or common noun?

"Feels" is neither a pronoun nor a common noun. It's a verb.

Here's why:

* Pronouns stand in for nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they).

* Common nouns are general names for people, places, or things (e.g., dog, city, chair).

"Feels" describes an action or state of being, which is the function of a verb.

For example:

* "The blanket feels soft." ("Feels" is the verb describing the action of feeling soft.)

* "She feels happy today." ("Feels" is the verb describing her state of being happy.)
