CONTEXT:

I can't find my ring.
Oh, there it is.

Is the word "there" an adjective in the sentence above? or is it a pronoun? For me it looks like the word "it" is the pronoun, but I'm not completely sure.

Best Answer

"There" is an adverb in your sentence - specifically a locative adverb or adverb of place. Example sentences include:

I need to go back to the office because I left my wallet there.

I've heard Switzerland is lovely, but I've never been there.

"Where is Bobby? There he is.

See the top definition here for more details.

Also, you are correct that "it" is the pronoun in your sentence.
