An adjective describes a noun, and a pronoun is a short form of a noun. Popular pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. The following sentence, "The truck is green", has truck as the noun and green as the adjective. You can replace the truck with it, so the sentence reads "It is green" with it being the pronoun and green still the adjective.

How sad that a couple of the answers you've gotten are wrong!
I'm a 3rd grade teacher, and I dig grammar.
An adjective, in simplest terms, describes a noun or pronoun. A pronoun is a general word that replaces a specific noun. It is NOT a proper noun. The pronoun "I" can be used in place of "Elizabeth."

Here are the easy ways to remember. Adjectives tell you something about a noun. (they describe a characteristic.) Examples: the blue dress - blue is the adjective. the pretty girl - pretty describes how the girl looks.
Pronouns are used instead of a person, place or thing. They are he, she, it, and they. For example: Sarah went outside. She wanted to enjoy the nice day. It was indeed a beautiful day! (she replaced Sarah, and it replaced day.

An adjective modifies a verb or noun and a pronoun basically describes something without giving it a proper name.
Example of adjective: Tim ran quickly down the path.
"quickly" describes the verb ran.
A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.

An Adjective helps describe a noun red car, soft pillow, etc. A pronoun replaces a noun. Like when you say his car rather than John's car.

an adjective is a modifier for a noun. if you say, i am wearing a red dress, red is the adjective. a pronoun is a proper noun, as in, jennifer went to the store, jennifer is the pronoun.

adjectives are words that describe things, like "big" or "fast"
pronous are words that can go in the place of nouns, like "he" or "it"
