Pronoun Cont. Antecedent- The word or word group that a

pronoun stands FOR. Ex: The dog lost his collar.

DOG is the antecedent of his. Ex: Ashlyn, call your mother.

Ashlyn is the antecedent of your.

Pronoun Cont. Sometimes the antecedent is not stated

because the reader can understand the meaning of the sentence without it. For example: “Call your mother.”

Pronoun Cont. Pronouns must agree with the antecedent in

number and gender. Marie and Collin took their chairs with them

to the game. There are two antecedents, so the

pronoun must be plural Ex: Janessa was wearing her coat at the

mall. Janessa is a girl, so the pronoun must be

feminine.
