example: The cheerleaders are on the field and they are ready to perform.

What is a sentence with the word antecedent?

Antecedent means coming before something else. Oral storytelling is the antecedent to modern fiction.


What is a stated antecedent?

The antecedent is the noun that a pronoun represents in the sentence. The stated antecedent is an antecedent that is actually in the sentence or a preceding sentence. Sometimes the antecedent is not stated, it is understood by the speaker and the listener. Examples:Margaret made this cabinet herself. She is very handy with tools. The pronouns herself and she represent the stated antecedent Margaret.This is the model car she was telling me about. The antecedent for the pronoun she is not stated, the speaker and the listener already know or understand who she is.


Antecedent in a sentence?

The pronoun antecedent is the noun that the pronoun replaces. The noun either precedes the pronoun in the same sentence, a previous sentence, or is known to the speaker and those spoken to.For example:"When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train." "George" is the antecedent of the pronoun "he.""Students in on-line classes have to keep up with their assignments." The word "students" is the antecedent of the word "their."


What is a pronoun with no specific antecedent?
