Question

Where might a pronouns antecedent appear? A:after the noun in the sentence/b:all of the above /c:before the noun in the sentence /d: in an entirely different sentence

Answer 1

There is something called "Pronoun-antecedent-agreement" which basically explains the number and gender of the subject must be equal to the number and gender of its antecedent.

Example:

• My sister took her daughter to the doctor's

As you can see "My sister" is a female singular noun and "her" corresponds to this.

Now, the word antecedent indicates the rule for wich the pronoun stands, and as it says ante: before.

In the example "my sister" is the antecedent and "her" the pronoun.

• The correct answer to the question is C. Before the noun in the sentence.
