Example sentence: Mine is the house with the blue door.
A pronoun can appear before its antecedent in a sentence when the antecedent is introduced later or when omitting the antecedent creates a smoother sentence flow. For example, "The dog chased its tail." Here, "its" refers to "the dog," which is the antecedent.
The antecedent of a pronoun typically comes before the pronoun in a sentence. The pronoun's role is to refer back to the antecedent and replace it in the sentence to avoid repetition.
The most common type of sentence that the pronoun comes first is a question (an interrogative sentence). Example: What is your name? (your name is what) Where is the school? (the school is where)
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")
Yes, an antecedent refers to the noun or pronoun that a pronoun refers back to in a sentence. It is typically mentioned before the pronoun in the text.

The antecedent does, most often, come before a relative pronoun in a sentence, but it is not incorrect for the relative pronoun to occasionally come before its antecedent.Example:John knows what he wants.What he wants, John will have to tell you.
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.
No, the word 'before' is an adverb, a preposition, or a conjunction.An antecedent is the noun or nouns, pronoun, or noun phrase that a pronoun replaces.Example: When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train.The noun 'George' is the antecedent of the pronoun 'he'.Example sentence for the adverb 'before':Haven't we met before?modifies the verb 'have met'.Example sentence for the preposition 'before':I'll put it in my locker before class.introduces the prepositional phrase 'before class'.Example sentence for the conjunction 'before':You should spell-check your work before you send it to the printer.joins the two parts of the compound sentence.
No, that is not true. The antecedent can be one noun, or two or more nouns. For example: Jack and Jill went up the hill carrying a pail with them. (the antecedent for the pronoun 'them' is the two nouns, Jack, Jill) I have apple, cherry, and lemon. Which one would you like? (there is no antecedent for the pronoun 'I'; the antecedents for the indefinite pronoun 'one' are the nouns apple, cherry, lemon)

In the sentence "Bob jumped up and the cat scratched him" the noun Bob is the antecedent to the pronoun 'him.'e.g The sentence did not contain a clear antecedent.It can also mean something that goes before, such as ancestors or the earlier events of your life.That event was an antecedent to his accident.Homeopathy was an antecedent to modern medicine.
The antecedent for the pronoun 'her' is a singularnoun for a female.The pronoun 'her' is a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific female as the object of a verb or a preposition.The pronoun 'her' is a possessive adjective, a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to a specific female.Example uses:Today is mother's birthday so I made a cake for her.personal pronoun, takes the place of the noun 'mother' as the object of the preposition 'for'.Suzi rides her bicycle to school.possessive adjective, describes the noun 'bicycle' as belonging to Suzi.
A remote reference pronoun is a pronoun that takes the place of an antecedent that is mentioned far before the pronoun.

(answer: remote reference pronoun from the first sentence)
