D. Presentation

We will be discussing today about

pronoun-antecedent agreement
E. Developmental Activities

What are pronouns?

So why is it that there is a need to take the

place of a noun in a sentence?

What do you call the noun that comes before

the pronoun?

Ante means ________. It is the word, phrase, or

clause to which a pronoun refers, understood
by the context.

What do you call the pronouns that refer back

to nouns?

Now, consider this sentence.

I get worried when the neighbors let their dog
out.

Analyze the following sentences and underline

once the antecedent.

How about the referent? Kindly underline

twice the referent.

Neighbors. Is it singular or plural?

Very good! And “theirs” is ________.

They agree because both are plural.

So the agreement of the referent and the
antecedent is what we called as________________.
In the sentence, what is the subject?

You’re right! And how about the verb?

In the subject-verb agreement, we said that the

subject and the verb must agree in number.
That is to make sure that both are singulars
and plurals.

Aside from the example given in the hand out,

kindly give an example following this rule.

Next is, Indefinite pronouns as antecedents.

What is the indefinite pronoun in the given

exampl Both, many and several are always take
the plural.

PRONOUNS THAT ARE ALWAYS PLURAL

Many few others
Both several

Kindly give an example, following this rule.

Next agreement is __________________________.

Kindly give examples of indefinite pronouns.

Kindly give an example following this rule.

PRONOUNS THAT ARE ALWAYS SINGULAR

Anybody everybody neither
Anyone everyone one
Another nobody no one
Each someone somebody
Either other

Next rule is ____________?

Sugar is what kind of a noun?

So, is it singular or plural?

What is the next rule under pronoun-

antecedent agreement?

Give me other examples aside from the

examples in your handout.

PRONOUNS THAT MAYBE EITHER SINGULAR

OR PLURAL

The pronouns all, any, some and none are plural

or singular according to the meaning of the
sentence.
When they refer to number, they regarded as
plural. When they refer to quantity or mass,
they regarded as singular.

Kindly read the next agreement.

Give me a sentence following this rule.

Take note that if both of these antecedents are

singular and refer to different persons or
things, the antecedent is plural.

However, if the antecedent refers to one

person who fulfills two functions, the pronoun
that takes the place of the antecedent is
singular.

The cook and house keeper did not like his

duties.

The housekeeper were another individual, the

word the would be placed before the word
housekeeper.

What’s the next agreement?

Give me another example following this rule.

Kindly read the next agreement.

In the first sentence actors is closer to the
referent, that is why the referent is their, which
is in plural form.

What is next agreement?

In the first sentence notice that jury is taken as

one, so the referent is it, which is singular in
form. The second sentence, jury acts as
individuals because it is joined by the word
members.

The next agreement is, title of single entities

take singular referent. Kindly read the given
example.

Give me another example.

Next agreement is__________

Kindly give me examples which are plural form

subject but singular in meaning.

The news has lost much of its sting two days

ago.

So the referent of the sentence is in what form?

What is the next agreement?

Kindly read the give examples.

The next agreement is, The number of vs. a

number before a subject.
When you use “the number”, it takes a singular
referent. On the other hand, “a number” takes a
plural referent.

Read the first example.

That is the difference between the use of “the

number” and “a number”.
