The word which is used in place of a noun or refers to a specific noun in a sentence is called Pronoun.
Note: A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. For example, instead of saying "The cat climbed the tree," we can say "It climbed the tree," using the pronoun "it" to replace "cat." Pronouns can refer to people, animals, objects, and ideas. By using pronouns, we avoid repetition and make our writing more efficient.
There are several types of pronouns. Some of them are... Personal Pronouns, Reflexive Pronouns, Demonstrative Pronouns, Indefinite Pronouns, Distributive Pronouns, Interrogative Pronouns, Relative Pronouns, etc. Learning about these types of pronouns can help us use them correctly and effectively in our writing and speech.
