What is an antecedent?
• Antecedents are the specific nouns that pronouns replace. An antecedent is what the pronoun refers to.

Steps to finding the antecedent1) Find the pronoun in the sentence or group of sentences.
Example: The dog looks scary, but it is really very friendly.
2) When you have identified the pronoun in a sentence, ask yourself which word the pronoun is replacing. The word being replaced by the pronoun will be its antecedent. Example: The dog looks scary, but it is really friendly.
3) Understand that sometimes, pronouns and their
antecedents appear in different sentences. Example: Shamario went to the prom every year of high school. He was very popular.
