What is something you should consider when checking antecedent-pronoun agreement?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You should consider the number and gender of the antecedent when checking antecedent-pronoun agreement. Make sure that the pronoun matches the antecedent in both number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine/neuter). Additionally, watch out for ambiguous antecedents that may cause confusion about which noun the pronoun is referring to.

What kind of pronoun is whom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The pronoun 'whom' functions as an interrogative pronounand a relative pronoun.

  • An interrogative pronoun introduces a question. The antecedent of an interrogative pronoun is often the answer to the question.
  • A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words (with a subject and a verb) that relates information about its antecedent.

The pronoun 'whom' is an objective pronoun, a word that functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.

The pronoun 'whom' functions as a singular or a plural pronoun.

The corresponding subjective pronoun is who.

Example uses:

  • To whom should I give my completed application? (interrogative pronoun; object of the preposition 'to')
  • The customer for whom we made the cake is expected at four. (relative pronoun; introduces the relative clause as object of the preposition 'for')
