Question:
What is the antecedent of the pronoun those?
Sentence: Those are books that need to be returned to the library
Answer:
<u><em>Books</em></u>
Pronouns are used to replace nouns with more general terms that don't describe a specific person or place. The antecedent of a pronoun is the word that the pronoun replaces.
In the case of this sentence, the pronoun <em>those </em>replaces the word <em>books</em>, therefore the antecedent of the pronoun <em>those </em>is <em>books</em>.
It would be much better if there was a context representing the idea which has to be determined. But 'whom' actually can pose as an object in the sentence, only when it is <span>objective case.</span>
<span>first:second
<span>present:past
</span><span>contemporary:historic
</span><span><span>successor:predecessor</span></span></span>
