antecedent

by clammiestqasar » Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:26 am
Third person pronoun should not be used as antecedent to who/that

(e.g. Mucool's room is so messy that his mother calls him a pig. Him is wrong. Needs an antecedent and there is none. Mucool's is possessive case. Him should e replaced by mucool)

Can u please explain this?
what is the antecedent of that?
