5. What is a
Pronoun?
A pronoun is defined as a word or
phrase that is used as a substitution
for a noun or noun phrase, which is
known as the pronoun's antecedent.
6. Why Pronoun?
ROOT: Latin ‘pro’ means for; and
‘nomen’ means noun (which means a
word that replaces a noun)
7. What is an
Antecedent?
An antecedent is the word being
replaced by a pronoun.
Root: ‘ante’ means go; and ‘cedo’
means before

English class.
Antecedent: Juan
Pronoun: He
