well, antecendent means: is a word or group to which a pronoun refers to in a sentence. See if that helps

anonymous · Answer

example, in the  "I did not see Jack because he wasn't there", "Jack" is the antecedent of the anaphor "he"; together "Jack" and "he" are called a coreference because they both refer to the same thing (in this case, a particular person). 
so kelly katelyn and they will be the antecedent because they are refering to the same thing
