Antecedents
are nouns or nouns that are represented by pronouns, where the word can be a
word, phrase or clause. Usually antecedent has the position of placing words in
a sentence before the pronouns. One thing that must be considered in the
preparation of sentences that contain antecedents is that the pronoun must be
equivalent to the antecedent. This means that if the antecedent has a singular
form, the pronoun must also be singular, and vice versa.
Example :
-
You should submit
the report to your teacher
immediately.
-
They took
off their shoes there.
-
To get rich, the man gave his money away to charity.
Dangling constructions
are a group of words the author intends to be a modifier of a noun or phrase
but the noun or phrase is actually not in the sentence. Instead, the modifier
mistakenly describes a noun or phrase in the sentence, sometimes with funny
results.
Example :
-
While
running, my shoe lost its heel. (I couldn’t slow that shoe down!)
-
To
avoid extinction, researchers hope to breed in captivity.
-
After
taking a three-month bicycle trip through Montana, my dog was happy to see me.
