What is a pronoun?

A quick description: A noun is a word that labels some thing or idea (e.g. a pen, a cat, a person, a secret). To repeat the noun every time you refer to it is inefficient, e.g. Joe took Joe's bowl and ate Joe's favorite ice cream and then Joe walked ....

The words to replace "Joe" would be the pronouns! --> Joe took his bowl and ate his favorite ice cream and then he walked ....
