Pronoun Reference


Pronouns are the generic words that are used to rename or replace other "brandname" nouns.

Examples:

• I me my
• you your
• we us our
• he him his she her hers
• who whom whose
• they them their theirs
• that it its those
• which there this these

Antecedents

Antecedents describe the word (or group of words) that a pronoun refers to, replaces, or renames. A pronoun has meaning to the reader or listener only if it has an antecedent-a noun that the pronoun is meant to replace-and only if it refers to the antecedent clearly.

Underlying Principles of the Link Between Pronouns and Their Antecedents

1. Every pronoun must refer clearly to one and only one specific noun in the same sentence or in a preceding sentence.

2. Every pronoun must agree with its antecedent in terms of number, person, and gender.
