"He was tired." (Antecedent: John) "She is a doctor." (Antecedent: Sarah) "They are going to the store." (Antecedent: the children) "It is raining." (Antecedent: the weather)
Antecedent boundaries are physical features, such as mountains or rivers, that existed before human settlement and often serve as natural divisions between regions. Examples include the Rocky Mountains in North America, the Himalayas in Asia, and the Amazon River in South America.
Antecedent.
It is the pronoun's antecedent.
Pronoun: he Antecedent: John
"He was tired." (Antecedent: John) "She is a doctor." (Antecedent: Sarah) "They are going to the store." (Antecedent: the children) "It is raining." (Antecedent: the weather)
The antecedent for the pronoun 'your' is the name of or a noun or pronoun for the person spoken to. When speaking to someone, the pronoun may not have an antecedent if the name of or noun for that person is not used. The pronoun 'your' can be singular or plural. Examples: Jane, I found your keys. ('Jane' is the antecedent) Excuse me miss, is this your bag? (the antecedent is 'miss') You can wear your green dress or your blue dress. (the antecedent is 'you') Your mother called. (no antecedent is used)
The antecedent for the pronoun 'you' is the name of or a noun or pronoun for the person spoken to. The pronoun 'you' can be singular or plural. When speaking to someone, the pronoun may not have an antecedent if the name of or noun for that person is not used. Examples: Jack, I made a sandwich for you. (the antecedent is 'Jack') Children, please bring an umbrella with you. (the antecedent is 'children') When you finish lunch you can go to the park. (no antecedent is used)
A reflexive pronoun is a restatement of the noun antecedent. The antecedent may or may not be the subject of the sentence. If the antecedent is not the subject of the sentence, then the reflexive pronoun would not be the same as the subject. Examples: For a subject antecedent: She made that dress herself. For another antecedent: This dress, made by Mary herself, won first prize. (the subject is 'dress'; Mary is the antecedent for the reflexive pronoun)
A pronoun must agree with the antecedent in number (singular or plural), in person (first, second, third person) and in gender (male, female, neuter).Examples of pronoun-antecedent agreement errors:The boys had fun on his fishing trip. (singular pronoun, plural antecedent)We had fun on their fishing trip. (third person pronoun, first person antecedent)Father had fun on her fishing trip. (female pronoun, male antecedent)
Example sentence: Everything is hers, nothing is mine.
Examples of antecedent concupiscence can include desires or temptations that lead a person to commit sinful acts, such as lustful thoughts, greed, or envy. This concept is often associated with the idea of original sin and the inclination towards sinful behavior that humans are believed to have inherited.

The word error is a noun, which does not use an antecedent (but it can be an antecedent itself).Both 'its' and 'their' are adjective pronouns that describe the noun 'hour'. Which of those adjectives are used depends on whether the antecedent is singular or plural. The noun 'hour' gives the clue that it should use the singular adjective 'its'; for example:Its hour is late so you may not go to the movie.Their hours are early enough so you may go to both movies.
Antecedent
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.An antecedent is the word that a pronoun is replacing.Example: When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train. ("George" is the antecedent of the pronoun "he.")
