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")
