Antecedents
Pronoun A word used to replace a previously
mentioned or known noun.

pronoun.
•Kate was tired so she went to bed.
•Michael took the children with him.
•Kieran’s face was close to mine.
•That is a good idea.
•Anything might happen.

Pronoun
Problem 1: Missing / Faraway Antecedents
Breathe in through your
nose, hold it for a few
seconds, then breathe
out through your mouth.
(Does it refer to the nose
or to the breath?)
New York City is a place
people dream of visiting.
Millions of people go to
walk between the shops
and see the latest
Broadway shows. Tourism
has skyrocketed for it.
(It is too far away from
New York City, which can
cause confusion.)
Problem 2: Anticipatory Antecedents
If it is available, be
sure to order the
champagne.
Mr. Hytner is a
director with a
vision; whether you
agree with them or
not, he makes his
points with boldness
and panache.
In both cases, the reader has to finish the sentence to understand what it or
them refers to: this is confusing for readers.
Problem 3: Ambiguous Antecedents
Lizzy told her
mother that her
sweater had a
hole in it.
(Does her refer to
Lizzy or her
mother?)
Sarah and Shawna
went to the store,
but she could not
find what she was
looking for.
(Does she refer to
Sarah or
Shawna?)
