∙ 7y agoA pronoun is a word that takes the place of (stands in for) a noun in a sentence.
The antecedent is the noun that the pronoun replaces.
For example:
The Browns are my neighbors. They live on the corner of my street.
The pronoun 'they' replaces the noun 'Browns' in the second sentence. The noun 'Browns' is the antecedent noun.
