Antecedents #2

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on helping students identify antecedents in sentences. An antecedent is the noun or noun phrase that a pronoun refers to earlier in the text.

By circling the antecedents, students reinforce their skills in recognizing the noun that the pronoun is replacing or referring to. This skill is crucial for avoiding ambiguity in writing and improving reading comprehension. Overall, the worksheet is an exercise in grammatical precision, enhancing the students’ ability to write clear and coherent sentences.
