How do I find antecedent and personal pronouns?

I have these sentences


1. Alice asked Henry if he had brought his bike.


2. Paul baked his parents a cake for their party.


3. The twins took their skis with them.


4. Jody put down her pencil when she was finished.


5. Dad helped the Grants select their new piano and move it into the house.


6.The fans rose to their feet when they realized that the ball had gone over the fence.


7. The movie doesn live up to its ads, but it does have an exciting ending.


8. Tracy enjoyed her trip and was sorry when it was over.


9. Ned decided he would order cake since it looked so good.


10. Ellen helped her brother find his baseball.





And I am supposed to highlight TWO personal pronouns in each sentence, then change the font color of each antecedent to match the color of its personal pronoun.





How do I find those?





I am not asking anyone to do these for me, just help with them, some examples or something.


Thanks.



The antecedent is the word being replaced by the pronoun. If I say: "John likes his cocoa hot," the pronoun "his" is replacing the antecedent "John" so that we don't say: John likes John's cocoa hot.





So...in sentence one, Henry is the antecedent being replaced by he and his. (Otherwise, we'd be saying: Alice asked Henry if Henry had brought Henry's bike. )





In number two, the subject, Paul, is being replaced by the pronoun "his" AND the indirect object (parents) is the antecedent being replaced by the pronoun "their."





See if you can do the rest.




There can be multiple pronouns to one antecedent. A pronoun is anything that can replace a noun, like "he" can substitute for "Bob."





1. Alice asked Henry if he had brought his bike.


Pronouns are he and his, antecedent is Henry.


2. Paul baked his parents a cake for their party.


Pronouns are his and their, antecedent for his is Paul, antecedent of their is parents.


3. The twins took their skis with them.


Pronoun is them and their, antecedent for both is twins.





Get it?
