Answer 13

Let me give you a clear example

Answer 14

When you see the professor, please tell him I'll be 10 minutes late this evening.
(In this example, the antecedent is professor. It is the word that the pronoun him refers to. The word professor comes before the pronoun him. )

Typically, the antecent of a pronoun is a noun or a noun phrase. Despite the name, an antecedent does not always come before its pronoun. Look at this example:

When you see him, please tell the professor I'll be 10 minutes late this evening.
(In this example, the antecedent is still professor even though it comes after its pronoun.) h
