ill just tell you since you tried the answer is Antecedent Look Antecedent up in Wikipedia: "In grammar, an antecedent is the word to which a pronoun refers" An 'Object' can be a noun or a pronoun, but that is not the name of what a pronoun REFERS to. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antecedent
