Nouns are not the same as pronouns. A pronoun can replace a noun when the meaning is clear. You could write, "Bill checked out the book and then Bill went home." You could use a pronoun. "Bill checked out the book and then he went home." You could not write. "He checked out the book and then he went home." The Third sentence in quotes starts with a pronoun. No one knows who this "He" might be. It is confusing. The first sentence works. It is awkward. The second sentence is the best. The pronoun replaces the second Bill. Pronouns and nouns do the same job but they are not the same.

No, nouns and pronouns are not the same. Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas, while pronouns are words that are used to replace nouns to avoid repetition. Pronouns include words like "he," "she," "it," "they," etc.
