What I Have Learned

1. In your own words, define the antecedent of pronouns. Give one example of a
sentence using pronouns effectively.
- The word “antecedent” means something that precedes something else. In language,
it is the word that a pronoun refers back to. Since the pronoun replaces the noun, it
has to agree in number. So, if the antecedent, or word that comes before, is singular,
then the pronoun that takes its place must also be singular.
EXAMPLE: Marie promised that she will help Francis in their studies.
In this example, the antecedent is 'Marie,' which is a feminine noun. The
correct pronoun is used here, as 'she' is a feminine pronoun.

2. Describing “Mother Earth”, compose a paragraph of 5 sentences following the

pronoun-antecedent rules.

EXAMPLE 1: Mother Earth delivered her speech to mankind.

In this example, the antecedent is 'Mother Earth,' which is a feminine noun.

The correct pronoun is used here, as 'her' is a feminine pronoun.

EXAMPLE 2: Mother Earth cries for help as human is starting to destroy her
lovely world.
In this example, the antecedent is 'Mother Earth,' which is a feminine noun.
The correct pronoun is used here, as 'her' is a feminine pronoun.

EXAMPLE 3: Mother Nature (she sometimes known as Mother Earth or the

Earth Mother) is a personification of nature that focuses on the life-giving and
nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it, in the form of the mother.
In this example, the antecedent is 'Mother Earth,' which is a feminine noun.
The correct pronoun is used here, as 'she' is a feminine pronoun.

EXAMPLE 4:As Mother Earth exist we human live comfortably as she treated
our world with live and care.
In this example, the antecedent is 'Mother Earth,' which is a feminine noun.
The correct pronoun is used here, as 'she' is a feminine pronoun.

EXAMPLE 5: Mother Earth is like also my mother because she still let me live
comfortably in this wold even though most human is already destroying her.
In this example, the antecedent is 'Mother Earth,' which is a feminine noun.
The correct pronoun is used here, as 'she'and “her’ is a feminine pronoun.

A. “AND I QUOTE”
Mother Nature has developed all life forms, processes, methods, tools, techniques,
algorithms that are time-tested and developed as a result of experiments, trials and
optimization in her grand laboratory. There is no pollution, no waste, no energy crisis,
no material crunch in Nature. She can offer the principles of sustainability, efficiency,
sufficiency and solutions to all sorts of environmental problems that humanity is facing
now and years to come.
Environment is where people enjoyed so much. People take time to explore the whole
beauty of nature. They're having fun to capture every moment they take a look at her
and some view of natures.
