WEEK #3: PRONOUNS AND ANTECEDENTS

WEEK #3: PRONOUNS AND ANTECEDENTS
INFORMATION: Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns like he, she, it, they, etc. Antecedents are the words that the pronouns replace. For example, Dan left his bike in the yard. "Dan" would be the antecedent for the pronoun "his."
Directions: Read each sentence and list the pronoun first and then the antecedent for each. Each is worth .3, making this activity worth 3 bonus points.
