What is pronoun antecedent?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands. ( ante = "before") The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun.

An antecedent is the word, phrase, or clause to which a pronoun refers. In all of the following examples, the antecedent is in bold and the pronoun is italicized: • The teacher forgot her book. In this sentence, her is the personal pronoun and teacher is the antecedent.
