A pronoun is a word that can be used instead of a noun. For example, instead of 'yahoo answers' you could say 'it.' Instead of the people who are answering questions on yahoo answers, you could say 'they' or 'them.'
Other examples of pronouns:
I, me, you, he, she, it, him, her, we, us, them, they.
How to use it correctly in a sentence?
There are infinite answers. Here's a couple of examples:
I love you.
She loves them.
We love him.
Then of course there are the 'relative pronouns' which are who, whom, whose, that, and which.
Using them correctly may result in a sentence something like this:
My sister, who lives in London, sends me e-mails every day, which can get annoying.

In plain English, a pronoun is a word used in place of a proper noun.
For example: Nancy went to the store. (Nancy is a proper noun)
She went to the store. (She is a pronoun used in place of the proper noun)
He, she, they, we, us, them, etc are all pronouns.
