∙ 7y agoA pronoun takes the place of a noun or a pronoun.
The word that a pronoun replaces is called the antecedent.
Examples:
- You and I can take the bus or ask Jane to pick us up. (the pronoun 'us' takes the place of the pronouns 'you and I')
- Jane can pick us up, she will be here by ten. (the pronoun 'she' takes the place of the noun 'Jane')
- We can wait at the entrance for her. (the pronoun 'we' takes the place of the noun for the speaker and one or more other people; the pronoun 'her' takes the place of the noun 'Jane' from the previous sentence)
Note: An antecedent is not required for first person pronouns.

∙ 7y agoA pronoun takes the place of a noun or another pronoun in a sentence. The antecedent is the noun or pronoun that a pronoun takes the place of.
An object pronoun takes the place of an antecedent as the object of a verb or a preposition.
Examples of object pronouns and their antecedents:
- I brought cookies for the class. My mother made them. (The pronoun 'them' is the direct object of the verb 'made'; the antecedent is 'cookies')
- Mother made the cookies for us. (the pronoun 'us' is the object of the preposition 'for'; there is no antecedent for the first person, plural pronoun 'us', the speaker doesn't name the people referred to as 'us')
