The noun for which we replace by pronoun is the antecedent. example: Peter loves cricket. He plays everyday.

In this sentence,we replace Peter by he, so Peter is the antecedent.

An antecedent is a linguistics term that refers to a noun or pronoun that a pronoun refers back to in a sentence. It helps clarify the meaning of the pronoun by providing context or specificity.
