Distinction between Pronoun and Adjective

Some Pronouns and Adjectives function about the same, but they have different usages. The chief difference is that Pronouns have some words before the Nouns, while Adjectives are immediately followed by Nouns.  Let us look at some of them :

1. Demonstrative Pronouns and Demonstrative Adjectives are the same words, but they are used differently. The former have other words between them and Nouns; while the latter are directly followed by Nouns :

2. Interrogative Pronouns and Interrogative Adjectives too are same words, but they are used differently. The former have other words between them and the Noun, while the latter are directly followed by the Noun :
