Is everything a noun or pronoun?

No, not everything is a noun or pronoun.

While nouns and pronouns are essential parts of language, they are not the only word types. Here are some other common word types:

* Verbs: These words describe actions or states of being (e.g., run, jump, sleep, be).

* Adjectives: These words describe nouns (e.g., big, red, happy, beautiful).

* Adverbs: These words describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (e.g., quickly, slowly, very, extremely).

* Prepositions: These words show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence (e.g., on, in, under, over, to, from).

* Conjunctions: These words connect words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., and, but, or, because).

* Determiners: These words modify nouns (e.g., the, a, an, this, that, some, any).

* Interjections: These words express emotions (e.g., Wow! Ouch! Hey!).

So, while nouns and pronouns are important building blocks, they are just one part of the complex system of language.
