Are nouns the same as pronouns?

No, nouns and pronouns are not the same. They are different parts of speech with distinct roles in a sentence.

Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. They are the subjects of sentences.

Pronouns are words that replace nouns to avoid repetition. They are used to refer to nouns that have already been mentioned.

Here's a simple breakdown:

* Nouns: Cat, dog, house, city, love, freedom

* Pronouns: He, she, it, they, we, you, I

Example:

* Noun: The cat sat on the mat.

* Pronoun: It sat on the mat.

In this example, "cat" is the noun, and "it" is the pronoun that replaces "cat".
