First, let’s define what a pronoun is. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Instead of repeating a noun over and over again, we can use a pronoun to refer to that noun.

For example, instead of saying “Sarah went to the store. Sarah bought some candy. Sarah ate the candy,” we can say “Sarah went to the store. She bought some candy. She ate the candy.” In this case, “she” is the pronoun that refers back to the noun “Sarah.”

Now, let’s talk about antecedents. An antecedent is the noun that the pronoun is replacing. In the example above, “Sarah” is the antecedent of the pronoun “she.”
