I believe that's a kind of stupid question like many other questions of mine.
Are nouns and pronouns always used as subjects and objects in sentences?
Hi,
Are nouns and pronouns always used as subjects and objects in sentences? No. eg
Tom ate dinner in his kitchen.
Mary bought a TV from him.
Best wishes, Clive

In my opinion, in the above sentences kitchen and him are objects of prepositions in and from.
Hi Jackson,
That's true. I assumed you were referring to the subject or object of ta verb.
How about 'kitchen' in 'a kitchen table'? The noun here is used adjectivally.

Dear Clive,
That means noun/pronoun can be used adjectively and as subject/object of a certain sentence. Is there any other use of noun/pronoun?
I can't think any right now.
I wouldn't say that a pronoun can be used adjectivally.
