Antecedent: The word, phrase, or clause referred to by a pronoun, The AP exam occasionally asks for the antecedent of a given pronoun in a log, clomplex sentence or in a group of sentences.
Example:
"Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece- all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher, he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece, all the year around-."
In this quote we see that Huckleberry and Tom found money in a hidden cave. Huckleberry did not have parents, therefore he wondered around all the tiem without getting any type of education. I guess they got caught and the Judge forced them to get a home.
