Question

In which of the following sentences does the pronoun come before the antecedent?


A.
He would get very cold without it.


B.
Her caring made Keiko a good sister.


C.
Keiko handed her little brother his coat.


D.
They went out into the snow together.

Answer 1

The answer is (B). The pronoun is a word that is used to replace nouns (e.g. "she" for Mary, "him" for Joe, "it" for cat). The antecedent is that noun (Mary, Joe, cat).

Choice B is the only one where the pronoun "her" comes before the antecedent "Keiko".
