Learning Episode 1:
A. Motivation
1. Today, we are going to learn about

Pronoun-Antecedent Rules.
2. This lesson is important for you to use

pronouns effectively, and for you know to
know the relationship between the
pronoun and its antecedent.
3. After our discussion you are going to
identify whether the pronoun reference is
clear or faulty. Be prepared to defend
your answers.
B. Probe and Respond
Prerequisite Skills:
- Define Pronoun
- Identify Pronouns
Note to the teacher: Read the definition.
1. A pronoun is a word used to stand for (or

take place of) a noun.
A word can refer to an earlier noun or

pronoun in the sentence.
2. The teacher asks the learners:

Expected Answer:
What is a pronoun? A pronoun is a word used to stand for

(or take place of) a noun.
There are a lot of pronouns in the English

Language; however, for today, in our
lesson, we will be focusing on personal
pronouns.
3. The teacher asks the learners:
Can anybody give me examples of I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us,
pronouns? them
4. I have sentences here. The sentences are:
Tina rode her bike to the grocery store.

She bought some fruits and vegetables.
Where are the pronouns in the sentences?

Tina rode her bike to the grocery store. She
5. The teacher says: bought some fruits and vegetables.
Today, class, we are going to learn about the

relationship of pronouns to their antecedents. We
will know how the replacements of nouns take
place. Let’s start with defining what an
Antecedent is.
An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun

stands.
“Ante” which means “before”. The general rule of

Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement is that the
pronoun must agree with its antecedent in
number.
This means that a singular pronoun must replace a

singular noun, and a plural noun must replace a
plural noun.
Thus, the mechanics of the sentence above looks,

life this.
Tina rode her bike to the grocery store.
singular feminine
singular feminine
Here are nine pronoun-antecedent agreement

rules. These rules are related to the rules found in
subject-verb agreement.
1. A phrase or clause between the subject

and verb does not change the number of
the antecedent.
Example:
The can of pork and beans sits on its

shelf.
Prep. phrase
Singular Singular
As you can see, the prepositional phrase between

the antecedent and the pronoun did not affect the
number. Since we have a singular pronoun, our
pronoun should be singular too. In the sentence,
we have ‘can’ as our antecedent which is a thing.
If the noun is a thing, the pronoun that should be
used is its.
2. Indefinite pronouns as antecedents
Singular indefinite pronoun antecedents

take singular pronoun referents.
SINGULAR: each, either, one, no one,

nobody, nothing, anyone, anybody,
anything, someone, somebody,
something, everyone, everybody,
everything
Example:
Each of the birds flies toward its nest.
Singular Singular
Plural indefinite pronoun antecedents

require plural referents.
PLURAL: several, few, both, many
Example:
Both flowers bend their stems toward the

sun.
Plural Plural
Some indefinite pronouns are modified by a

prepositional phrase may be either singular or
plural.
EITHER SINGULAR OR PLURAL:

Some, any, none, all, most
When the object of the preposition is

uncountable, use a singular referent
pronoun.
When the object of the preposition is

countable, use a plural referent pronoun.
Examples:
Some of the waves reached its top.
Waves is uncountable; therefore, the

sentence has a singular referent pronoun.
Some of the animals were saved by their

owners.
Animals are countable; therefore, the

sentence has a plural referent noun.
3. Compound subjects joined by and always

take a plural referent.
Example:
The cow and the goat run for their lives as
Plural Plural
the hunters chase them.
Plural
4. With compound subjects joined by or/nor,

the referent pronoun agrees with the
antecedent closer to the pronoun.
Example 1 (plural antecedent closer to the

pronoun)
Neither the dog nor the cats escaped their

stalkers.
Singular Plural
Plural
Example 2 (plural antecedent closer to the
pronoun)
Neither the cats nor the dog escaped their

stalkers.
Plural Singular
Plural
5. Collective Nouns (group, jury, crowd,
team, etc.) may be singular or plural
depending on meaning.
Examples:
A flock of birds made its nest on the
tallest tree.
Singular Singular
In this example, the flock is acting as one unit;

therefore, the pronoun referent is singulars
The troop members run toward their

prey.
Plural Plural
In this example, the troop members are acting as
twelve individuals; therefore, the referent pronoun
is plural.
6. Proper Singular Nouns (books,
organizations, countires) take a singular
referent.
Example:
The Philippines is proud of its natural

resources.
7. Plural subjects with singular meaning

take a singular pronoun referent.
The news about the forest fires has lost

its rage a few days after.
Singular
Singular
8. The number of vs A number of before a

subject.
The number of is singular.
Example:
The number of conserved wildlife

habitats increases its number each year.
singular
singular
A number of is plural.
Example:
A number of wild animals were saved

from their huntsmen.
Plural
Plural
Do you have questions?
Modelling:
Before we proceed to writing actual

sentences using pronouns, today, we will
be determining whether the reference
between the pronoun and its antecedent is
faulty or not.
I have a short activity here that I will be Correct Answers:

answering, and I want you to listen very
carefully and observe how I answer.

clear or faulty. Write “C” if it is clear and 1. C
“F” if it is faulty on the space before the 2. F

is why he decided to join the Marines.
2. Jake told her brother that he ought to
