Answer:

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of one or more nouns.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pronoun is used to substitute one or more nouns in a sentence in order to avoid its repetition. There are several types of pronouns, such as subject pronouns, object pronouns, possessive pronouns, etc.

Take a look at the sentences below:

- Lara and Hanna are sisters. Lara and Hanna get along very well.

See how repetitive it sounds when we mention the sister's names again? To keep that from happening, we can use the subject pronoun "they" in the second sentence to substitute the nouns "Lara and Hanna":

- Lara and Hanna are sisters. They get along very well.
