Can a prounoun be used to avoid repeating noun?

Yes, absolutely! Pronouns are designed to be substitutes for nouns, thereby avoiding repetition. They're a key part of good writing and speaking because they make your language flow smoothly and avoid sounding clunky.

Here are some examples:

* Original: "The dog chased the ball. The dog caught the ball."

* Revised: "The dog chased the ball. It caught the ball." (Using "it" to avoid repeating "the dog")

Types of Pronouns for Avoiding Repetition:

* Personal pronouns: (I, me, you, he, she, it, we, they)

* Possessive pronouns: (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs)

* Demonstrative pronouns: (this, that, these, those)

* Relative pronouns: (who, whom, whose, which, that)
