sinigang mix.

"What can you use instead?"

2. You want to cook a ginataang gulay but there is no

coconut milk.

"What can you use instead?"

sinigang mix for our sinigang recipe, coconut milk for
ginataang gulay, and cooking oil for fried rice.

In writing, we also have these words used to replace the

subjects of our sentences, and that is exactly what we are
going to discuss this morning: the pronoun and its
antecedent agreement.

DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY (Test Knowledge)

Before we formally proceed to our lesson, let us have
first a short activity. Underline the pronoun used in the
sentences.
1. Joel sang his first musical composition during the mall
tour yesterday.

Muna Bago Biking."

10. The staff have submitted their reports.

Time is up! Let us check your papers.

C. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION

In order for you to be guided through our lesson today,
flashed on our screen are our objectives.

Everyone, kindly read.

Thank you so much.

There are pronoun-antecedent rules to follow in order to

use pronouns effectively.

A pronoun is a word used to stand for 9or take the place)

a noun. A word can refer to an earlier noun or pronoun in
the sentence.

Example:
“Mother Earth delivered Mother Earth’s speech to
mankind.”
We do not talk or write this way. Automatically, we
replace the noun Mother Earth’s with a pronoun. More
naturally, we say
“Mother Earth delivered her speech to mankind.”
The pronoun her refers back to Mother Earth. Mother
Earth is the ANTECENDENT of the pronoun her.

An antecedent is a word which a pronoun stands. (ante =

“before”).
The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number.

RULE: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun;

a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun.

Here are NINE PRONOUNS-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:
An array of trees stands in its ground.

2. Indefinite Pronouns as antecedents

- Singular indefinite pronoun antecedents take
singular pronoun referents.
SINGULAR: each, either, neither, one, no one, nobody,
nothing, anyone, anybody, anything, someone,
somebody, something, everyone, everybody, everything.
Example:
Each of the birds flies towards its nest.

- Plural indefinite pronoun antecedents require

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

- Some indefinite pronouns that 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.
Example:
Some of the waves reached its top!
Waves are uncountable; therefore, the sentence has a
singular referent pronoun.

When the object of the preposition is countable--- use a

plural referent pronoun.
Example:
Some of the animals were saved by their owners.
Animals are countable; therefore, the sentence has a
plural referent pronoun.

3. Compound subjects joined by and always take a

plural referent.
Example:
The Lion and the tiger run for their lives as the hunters
chase them.
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.
Example 2: (singular antecedent closer to pronoun)
Neither the cats nor the dog escaped its stalkers.

5. Collective Nouns (group, jury, crowd, team, etc.) may

be singular or plural, depending on meaning.
Example 1.1
A flock of birds made its nest on the tallest tree.
- In this example, the flock is acting as one unit;
therefore, the referent pronoun is singular.
Example 1.2.
The troop members run toward their prey.
- In this example, the troop members are acting as
twelve individuals; therefore, the referent
pronoun is plural.

6. Titles of single entities (books, organizations,

countries, etc.) take a singular referent.
Examples:
1. The gifts of nature made its characters seem realistic.
2. The Philippines is proud of its natural resources.

7. Plural form subjects with a singular meaning take a

singular referent. (News, measles, mumps, physics, etc.) None, ma’am!
Example:
The news about the forest fires has lost its rage a few
days after.

8. Every or Many a before a noun or a series of nouns

requires a singular referent.
Examples:
1. Every cow, pig, and horse has lost its life in the fire.
2. Many a fish dreams to swim its trail along clear
waters.

9. The number of VS. A number of before a subject. : (Student’s answer may vary)
A. The number of is SINGULAR.
Example:
The number of conserved wildlife habitats increases its
number each year.
B. A number of is plural.
Example:
A number of wild animals were saved from their
huntsmen.

Do you have some questions?

Very Good!
