A pronoun is a part of speech. More specifically, a pronoun is a word that substitutes a noun. For example, in the sentence "Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words" (Proverbs 23:9 KJV), the word "he" is a pronoun that stands in for the word "fool," which is a noun.[1]
