A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun to avoid repeating it.
Examples

- They are playing outside.
- We are going to the store.

Adjective
An adjective describes a noun or pronoun, giving more details about it.

Examples
- The book is on the table.
- The dog is under the chair.

- I wanted to go, but I was too tired.
- Do you want tea or coffee?
In the above sentences, and, but, and or are conjunctions because they connect words or ideas.
