Examples of antecedent in the following topics:
-
- [The pronoun she refers to the antecedent Carolina.]
- [The pronoun he refers to the antecedent Jim.]
- [The pronoun their refers to the antecedent twins.]
- The pronoun he refers to the antecedent Scott.]
- [The pronoun he refers to the antecedent Franklin.]
-
- Hybrid 1 combines the antecedent phrase (typically associated with the period) with the continuation phrase (typically associated with the sentence).
- This results in a complete presentation–continuation–cadential function progression in the antecedent phrase followed by an incomplete continuation–cadential function progression.
- On the large scale, the antecedent phrase functions like a big presentation function zone (like the presentation phrase does).
- Hybrid 2 similarly begins with an antecedent phrase, but follows with a four-bar-long cadential progression.
- This "compound basic idea" (CBI) presents the melodic structure of an antecedent (two contrasting melodic ideas), but uses the harmonic structure of a presentation phrase (tonic prolongation).
-
- The first of these is called the antecedent phrase and the final four measures are the consequent phrase.
- Melodically, the antecedent begins with a two-measure BI.
- Harmonically, the antecedent ends with a weak cadence, either a HC or an IAC.
- The antecedent phrase closes with a weak HC in the home key.
- The BI from the antecedent is restated at the beginning of the phrase.
-
- Yellow and personal journalism were antecedents to the Progressive muckraking era in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
- Progressivism in the United States began in the 1890s and reached its height in the early twentieth century; however, several antecedents paved the way for the movement to begin.
-
- When phrases come in pairs like this, the first phrase is called the antecedent phrase, and the second is called the consequent phrase.
- Listen to antecedent and consequent phrases in the tune "Auld Lang Syne".
-
- However, they are only useful if the reader always knows what word the pronoun is replacing—the pronoun's antecedent.
- Don't separate a pronoun too far from its antecedent, and don't use a pronoun unless its antecedent has already been established.
- They are also called determiners and can function as adjectives for their antecedents:
- As always, remember to make sure that the antecedent is clear; avoid ambiguous sentence constructions in which pronouns could refer to multiple different words.
-
- For the purposes of antecedent-consequent relationships, a PAC is always stronger than a HC or IAC, even if it is in another key.
- Similarly, a compound period can be comprised of two Hybrid 1 themes (antecedent–continuation)
-
- As long as their antecedents are clear, using pronouns as subjects and objects in your academic writing greatly simplifies your wording and communicates your ideas much more powerfully.
- Their forms are determined primarily by their grammatical function or antecedent rather than by person.
-
- One of the most important requirements of experimental research designs is the necessity of eliminating the effects of spurious, intervening, and antecedent variables.
- The same is true for intervening variables (a variable in between the supposed cause ($X$) and the effect ($Y$)), and anteceding variables (a variable prior to the supposed cause ($X$) that is the true cause).
-
- When a singular pronoun is needed, use the "singular they" with a singular antecedent.
- In these examples, the antecedents are "the patient" and "someone."
