Is the word no a pronoun?

No, the word "no" is not a pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronouns replace nouns. Examples: he, she, it, they, we, you, I, this, that, these, those.

* "No" is an adverb. It modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It expresses negation or refusal.

Examples:

* Pronoun: "She went to the store." ("She" replaces the noun "girl")

* Adverb: "No, I don't want to go." ("No" modifies the verb "want")
