No, the word "was" is a verb (or auxiliary verb), the past tense of the verb to be.

Examples:

He is late.

He was late.

He will be late.

He is walking to school.

He was walking to school.

He will be walking to school.

No, the word 'to' is not a pronoun.

The word 'to' functions as follows:

As a preposition, the word 'to' connects a noun or a pronoun to another word in a sentence. The noun or pronoun that follows the preposition 'to' is called the object of the preposition. Examples:

I drove my father to the airport.

  • The preposition 'to' connects the noun 'airport' to the verb 'drove.

Jim scratched his head. Algebra is a mystery tohim.

  • The preposition 'to' connects the pronoun 'him' to the noun 'mystery'.

As an adverb, the word 'to' is used to modify a verb. Examples:

When I came to, my mom was at my bedside.

  • The adverb 'to' modifies the verb 'came'.

The kite swayed to and fro in the breeze.

  • The adverb 'to' modifies the verb 'swayed'.

As an infinitive marker, the word 'to' indicates that the verb that follows is in the infinitive, or without a verb following when the missing verb is understood. Examples:

It's time to go home now.

  • The verb 'go' follows the infinitive marker.

I haven't seen the new exhibit but I'd like to.

  • No verb follows the infinitive marker, the verb 'see' is understood.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Example: Jim scratched his head. Algebra is a mystery to him.

  • The pronouns 'his' and 'him' take the place of the noun 'Jim'.
