A clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence.
An antecedent is the noun or pronoun that a pronoun replaces in a sentence.
An antecedent clause is a clause that a pronoun replaces in another part of the sentence.
Example:
There was great confusion. A mouse running under the table caused people to jump and run from it.
A relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, which, that)relates a relative clause to the antecedent.
The clause 'What you need most' is a relative clause with the word 'what' functioning as a relative pronoun. The clause 'relates' to the antecedent for the pronoun 'what'. Example:Time is what you need most. (The noun time is the antecedent and the clause is functioning as the object of the sentence)What you need most is a good kick in the pants. (The noun kick is the antecedent and the clause is functioning as the subject of the sentence)
Antecedents are used in connection with relative pronouns; the pronoun usually opens the relative clause, but the antecedent is located in the main clause.
The antecedent for the relative pronoun 'who' is Max.The pronoun 'who' introduces the relative clause 'who is from Switzerland'.The relative clause 'who is from Switzerland' provides information that 'relates' to the antecedent noun 'Max'.
An antecedent is a word, phrase, or clause that a pronoun refers back to. In the context of work, an antecedent could be a noun that precedes a pronoun that replaces it. For example, in the sentence "John finished his work," 'work' is the antecedent of the pronoun 'his.'
The antecedent for the relative pronoun 'who' is Max.The pronoun 'who' introduces the relative clause 'who is from Switzerland'.The relative clause 'who is from Switzerland' provides information that 'relates' to the antecedent noun 'Max'.
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."
Antecedent
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 not mentioned because it 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")
An antecedent is something that comes before something else. (Ante= before.) In grammar, you decide whether to use a plural or singular verbs and possessives based on the antecedent. In the sentence "The boys took their books", "boys" is the antecedent that triggers "their" instead of "his".
The antecedent of 'he' in the sentence is 'Cory', as it refers back to the subject of the sentence.
An antecedent is the word, phrase, or clause to which a pronoun refers, as shown by the context. The antecedent is "representatives" because it is "their" (pronoun) negotiations - this is assuming that it is the representatives and not the strikers that are doing the negotiating.
