Antecedent & Pronoun rule

by crackgmat007 » Sun Oct 11, 2009 11:37 am
I want to clarify whether a noun must be functioning as a subject or object of the verb in order to be qualified as an antecedent.

Thoughts?

Great question.

This ques. has been troubling me as well.
I have seen 1-2 examples where both subject and object noun works as antecedent but i am not sure and need more inputs

Actually antecedent can be a noun that is functioning as a subj or obj of the verb. I want to know whether object of a preposition can qualify as an antecedent. Or any noun that is not functioning as an subj or obj of verb can function as antecedent?
