Noun

A noun is a word used to name a person, place, animal or a thing and also something which can only be thought
of, but cannot be seen.
For example:

u Allahabad is also known as Prayagraj. u He loves his freedom.
Pronoun

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. There are different kinds of pronouns. Just like nouns, pronouns
also have number and gender.
