 What Is It

Discussion of Activity 1

Pronoun Antecedent Agreement

A Pronoun is a word that replaces a noun. The pronoun usually references

something that has already been mentioned (antecedent).

An Antecedent is the word a pronoun replaces.

Pronouns and antecedents need to agree in gender and in number-

A. Agreement in Gender
Masculine Feminine
Pronouns Examples Key points Pronouns Examples Key points
1. Marco loves to Marco is Lina bakes Lina is the

His antecedent Her cake.
Him 2. He likes to play He is the Hers She also She is the
baseball too. pronoun bakes pronoun

Note that the second sentence shows the use of pronouns that agrees with its
gender. The pronouns were used as subjects.

birthday party.

Friends refer to more than one friend, therefore the antecedent is plural and
can be both masculine and feminine.
Friend refers to one friend, therefore the antecedent is singular and could be
masculine or feminine.
We use the pronoun it to replace the name of an animal or object.
I is a pronoun used for singular antecedent while We, Us and They are used
for plural antecedent.
