Why?

[longefoy]

Say something perhaps before carriage empties. The answer is Pronounce, but I don’t see why?

[fiction-factory]

pronoun + C(arriag)E

[fiction-factory]

But I can't see the pronoun. Is there a word missing?

[Captain2]

perhaps (say) is a PRONOUN + CE = empty C(arriag)E

[Captain2]

Don't know what I'm saying 'perhaps' isn't a pronoun - Is there something missing from the clue?

[klazomaniac]

Something is a pronoun

Say = definition

[aelmpvw]

something is a pronoun

[fiction-factory]

I thought it was an adverb.
I think of pronuns as I, she, you, these, those...

[dannyk13]

A pronoun can refer to something
//A pronoun is a word that you use to refer to someone or something when you do not need to use a noun//

[fiction-factory]

Yes, 'something' must be the pronoun here

[Captain2]

Now I know I'm still half asleep and shouldn't be answering questions yet!!! Thanks klazomaniac - I think I 'saw' the answer but made a dog's dinner of it.

[longefoy]

Thank you, fiction-factory and Captain2. Not sure what is the pronoun!

[longefoy]

Thank you everybody, got it now!

[klazomaniac]

Here you go longefoy.

something
—pronoun

some thing; a certain undetermined or unspecified thing:
Something is wrong there. Something's happening.
an additional amount, as of cents or minutes, that is unknown, unspecified, or forgotten:
He charged me ten something for the hat. Our train gets in at two something

[Old_Geezer]

Ah those folk who remember word type definitions and can identify them. For some reason my memory never could recall them. Better with numbers than words.

[klazomaniac]

No worries Cap't
Have a nice cuppa. That'll do the trick :-)

[fiction-factory]

My "I thought it was an adverb" referred to the suggestion of PERHAPS as the pronoun . I initially overlooked the something as I wrongly took the "say something''as the definition
