Pronouns are words that substitute nouns. We use a pronoun often to avoid repeating the noun that has already been mentioned or that is already known. A different pronoun is used depending the function that noun has in the sentence. At its most basic level, there are subject pronoun and object pronoun. On the other hand, we have adjective pronoun and possessive pronoun which show possessiveness. --- http://riverofpuzzles.blogspot.my/2017/01/pronouns-are-words-that-substitute-nouns.html
