What is an antecedent??? as In english...: I need help on this sentence:
One superstitious sailor can taint the whole company with his fear...
Would the antecedent be ?? and i also need the proper noun... Would it be his...
HELP
The antecedent is something that determines to what the pronoun refers. As in, "I asked Jodi what she was talking about." The pronoun "she" refers to Jodi, so Jodi is the antecedent. Does that make sense?
There is no proper noun in that sentence. A proper noun is a name of a person, place, or thing. They start with capitol letters. If the sentence read "Jack can taint the whole company with his fear...", the proper noun would be Jack. However, there are only common nouns in that sentence.
