An antecedent is a noun or noun phrase that a pronoun refers to in a sentence. The pronoun helps avoid repetition by standing in for the antecedent. Clarity in writing is important to ensure that the pronoun refers back to the correct antecedent.
A singular pronoun takes the place of a singular noun.The 'antecedent pronoun agreement' is ensuring that the pronoun used agrees in number (singular or plural) and gender(he, she, or it) with antecedent (the word that the pronoun is replacing).
