Here's why:
* Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas (e.g., *dog*, *school*, *book*, *freedom*).
* Pronouns act as substitutes for nouns, avoiding repetition and making sentences smoother.
Examples:
* Noun: "The dog chased the ball."
* Pronoun: "It chased it." (Here, "it" replaces "dog" and "ball")
Common types of pronouns include:
* Personal pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
* 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
