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.
Is a word a pronoun refers back to?
The antecedent is the word a pronoun refers back to.A better way to say it is, "an antecedent is the word that a pronoun takes the place of". That is because there are instances that the antecedent is not mentioned at all or can come after the pronoun that takes its place.Examples:Hi, how are you. I haven't seen you in some time. (the first and second person pronouns "I, me, we, us, you" rarely use the antecedent)Who would like some brownies? (there is no antecedent needed for the interrogative pronoun 'who')Who made the brownies? My mom made the brownies. (the pronoun 'who' takes the place of the noun 'mom', the answer to the questions)The person who made the brownies is my mom. (the antecedent of the relative pronoun 'who' is 'mom' which comes at the end of the sentence)Everyone wanted brownies. (indefinite pronouns seldom use an antecedent)She looks great. Her dress is beautiful. (the speaker and the listener may not even know who 'she' is, it may be a stranger that passed by or someone they see on TV; the antecedent is unnecessary because they're both looking at the person)A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun antecedent (whether it is mentioned or not).
