The antecedent of a pronoun is usually a noun or noun phrase. It is the word or words to which the pronoun refers in a sentence.
An antecedent is typically found in a sentence as a noun (or pronoun) that another pronoun refers back to. The antecedent provides context and clarity for the pronoun it precedes.
He, she, and it are pronouns, which are a part of speech that replace nouns to avoid repetition in a sentence.
An antecedent is important because it establishes the context for understanding pronouns in a sentence. Without a clear antecedent, pronouns can be confusing and lead to misinterpretation. Identifying the antecedent helps clarify the meaning and communication of the sentence.
"He was tired." (Antecedent: John) "She is a doctor." (Antecedent: Sarah) "They are going to the store." (Antecedent: the children) "It is raining." (Antecedent: the weather)

'His' and 'he' are pronouns
He, she, and it are pronouns, which are a part of speech that replace nouns to avoid repetition in a sentence.
Most indefinite pronouns don't use an antecedent. The first person pronouns I, me, you, we, us, rarely use an antecedent; the speaker and listener know who they are. An antecedent is not used when the noun represented by the pronoun is known to the speaker and the listener.
The antecedent for demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) are the same as the antecedent for personal pronouns, the word in the sentence, previously mentioned, or identified in some way, that the pronoun represents. In the case of demonstrative pronouns, the speaker may referred to the antecedent by gesture rather that words. Examples:These are my favorite.Those were the days.Do you like this? (no verbal antecedent)These are more expensive than those. (no verbal antecedent)
