A plural pronoun takes the place of a plural noun, or two or more nouns.

For example:

  • When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train. (the singular noun "George" is the antecedent of the singular pronoun "he.")
  • I bought some lilacs for mother. They are her favorite flower. (the plural noun "lilacs" is the antecedent of the plural pronoun "they")
  • I bought some lilacs for mother. They are herfavorite flower. (the singular noun 'mother' is the antecedent of the singular pronoun 'her')
  • My niece and nephew are coming to visit. I'm taking them to see a movie. (the compound subject 'niece and nephew' is the antecedent of the plural pronoun 'them')
