Should you put a comma before a person's name that comes at the end of the sentence, Miss Smith? A comma represents a slight pause. Speak your sentence with and without a pause just before the person's name. As you can see, a slight pause belongs there. Therefore, a comma belongs there. The purpose of punctuation is to make your sentences more readable. A comma makes the sentence more readable and easier to understand when spoken out loud. The two are almost one in the same.

What is the antecedent of the pronoun 'it' in Although it was old and needed a lot of work Carla knew this was the house for her?
The antecedent is "this". Strictly, the "ante" in "antecedent" means "before", and so the antecedent should be in an earlier sentence. But this sentence uses an inversion: "it" comes before the explanation of what "it" is. So there does not need to be an earlier sentence. In fact, this sentence about Carla could even be the first sentence in a novel.
