What do you call a word that indicates the action is being done by for or to the antecedent?

OK, you're not looking for the word that says what kind of action is being performed (that's the verb). Nor are you looking for the word that says to whom the action is being done (that's the object) or by whom (that's the subject). So just what are you looking for?
I'm thinking about a sentence: I killed a dog. The verb is "killed". The pronoun "I" is the subject of the sentence. "Dog" is the object. "A" is an indefinite article qualifying "dog". There is no word which "indicates the action is being done by, for or to the antecedent" and indeed syntactically the antecedent (the word coming before the verb) must be the subject in a sentence like this.
Rewording your question would sure help.

What receives the verb's action?
I take this question to mean: what do you call that part of a sentence which receives the action of the verb? If the sentence is in the active voice, it is the object that receives the action of the verb: 'My mother was stroking her cat' ('her cat' is the object of the verb 'was stroking', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking). If the sentence is in the passive voice, it is the subject that receives the action of the verb: 'The cat was being stroked by my mother' ('the cat' is the subject of the verb 'was being stroked', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking).
Consistency between subject and verb or pronoun and antecedent?
The consistency between subject and verb is using the correct tense. The tense is determined by the person of the subject (fist, second, third person), the number of the subject person(s) (singular or plural), and the time frame of the action (present, future, past, or ongoing). Examples:He is a student. His parents are proud.She studys biology. Her parents pay for her education.I graduated last year. My parents cheered.The consistency between pronoun and antecedent is call 'pronoun antecedent agreement'. The pronoun must agree with the antecedent in person (first, second, third person), number (singular or plural), gender (male, female, neuter), and case (subjective or objective). Examples:John is a student. He is studying history. His parents are proud of him.John's parents pay for college. They have saved for years.Jane has a herdegree. She paid for college herself. Her parents are proud of her.
