Nouns:
* Definition: A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.
* Examples:
* People: teacher, student, friend, Sarah
* Places: school, park, city, London
* Things: book, car, phone, table
* Ideas: love, happiness, freedom, democracy
Pronouns:
* Definition: A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repetition.
* Examples:
* Personal pronouns: I, me, you, he, she, it, we, they, us, him, her, them
* Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs
* Reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves
* Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those
* Interrogative pronouns: who, whom, whose, what, which
Key Differences:
* Replacing: Nouns name something directly, while pronouns stand in for nouns that have already been mentioned.
* Referents: Pronouns need a referent (the noun they replace) to have meaning.
Examples:
* Noun: The dog barked loudly.
* Pronoun: It barked loudly. (The pronoun "it" replaces the noun "dog".)
