what is the difference between pronoun and a common noun

please reply fast

Pronouns are the words that are used in place of nouns. For example: he, she, her, him, I, we, you, mine, myself etc. 

Now, there are nouns which name people, places or things in general. These nouns do not talk about any one name in particular. Therefore, these nouns are known as common nouns.

Instances of the same are girl, pen, book, etc.

The usual definition of a noun is a person, place, or thing. A pronoun refers to a noun. For example, in the sentence, "I like to sit on that chair because it is comfortable," the word "chair" is a noun, and "it" is a pronoun which refers to the word "chair". That sentence also includes verbs and prepositions and adjectives.
