Is author a pronoun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the word 'author' is a noun, a word for a person.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Example:

  • The author claims that he has met the aliens. I really don't believe him.
  • The author claims that she has met the aliens. I really don't believe her.
The pronouns he/she and him/her take the place of the noun author in the second parts of the sentence.

The author is my aunt. She has been writing since I can first remember her.
