Antecedents.
An antecedent is the noun or noun phrase a pronoun refers to. (Usually the antecedent comes before the pronoun, but in some sentences it can follow.)
Examples:
- "Maria lost her keys." — antecedent: Maria (for her)
- "Although she was tired, Maria stayed late." — antecedent: Maria (for she), even though it follows the pronoun.
