    Pronouns &

    Antecedents
    Pronouns are words
    used in
    place of
    nouns.
    Antecedents are the
    word(s) a
    pronoun
    stands for.
    Example without pronouns
    Chrissy made Chrissy’s
    own spaghetti sauce so
    Chrissy could have the
    sauce on Chrissy’s
    spaghetti.
    Example with pronouns
    Chrissy made her
    own spaghetti sauce
    so she could have it
    on her spaghetti.
    Understand
    The second sentence
    flows smoother
    because some nouns
    were replaced with
    pronouns.
    Pronouns take their
    meaning
    from the
    words they
    replace.
    Two or more Pronouns...
    can share
    the same
    antecedent.
    Example

    • Derrick and Alec


    made pancakes for
    their friends.
    Pronouns do not have
    to have a
    stated
    antecedent.
    Example I put the
    flapjacks
    on the
    plates.

    They had a
    messy job to
    do.

    the pronoun.
    antecedent
    of a
    pronoun
    Example

    Pronouns can be
    singular or
    plural.
    Make sure and

    pronoun(s) agree in
    number.
    Example

    cool.
    • People rocked. They had a
    good time.
