What antecedent-pronoun agreement considerations helps you make sure that a pronoun accurately represents the perspective of its antecedent?

Answer 1

The pronoun antecedent is the noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that a pronoun replaces.

The antecedent determines which pronoun is used in a sentence.
The considerations to be made about the antecedent are:

• number (is the antecedent singular or plural);
• gender (is the antecedent a male, a female, or neuter).

For example:

• When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train. (the noun "George" is the antecedent of the pronoun "he.")
• We had to stop for the goat in the middle of the road. It stared at us and finally walked away. (the noun "goat" is the antecedent of the pronoun "it")
• I bought some lilacs for mother. They are herfavorite flower. (the noun "mother" is the antecedent of the pronoun "her")
• I bought some lilacs for mother. They are her favorite flower. (the noun "lilacs" is the antecedent of the pronoun "they")

Answer 2

Consider the gender, number, and proximity of the antecedent when choosing a pronoun to ensure accurate representation. Make sure the pronoun aligns with the noun it replaces in these aspects to avoid confusion or ambiguity.
