I told John he would be the antecedent to the pronoun in this sentence. "he" refers to someone, the antecedent "John."
But what makes John the antecedent? @douglaswinslowcooper
"ante" means "before" and "cedent" means "coming." "John" has to come before "he," so that the reader knows whom "he" refers to.
Oh okay! Thank you so much, it makes a lot more sense now.
I am delighted to learn that! Well done.
