a noun is usually a common person, place or thing, such as doctor, country or mountain. and a pronoun is a specific person, place or thing, such as Mr. Bean, Canada, or Mt. Everest Hope this helps:)

Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas, while pronouns are words that take the place of nouns to avoid repetition. For example, in the sentence "Sarah visited the park. She enjoyed it," "Sarah" is a noun and "She" and "it" are pronouns. Understanding the difference helps improve sentence structure and clarity.
