Orphan date November 2006 In English language English grammar , a pronoun has a possessive antecedent if its antecedent grammar antecedent the noun that it refers to appears in a possessive case for example, in the following sentence, Winston Churchill is a possessive antecedent, serving as it does as the antecedent for the pronoun him Winston Churchill s history shows him to have been a good writer. In the 1960s ref cite web last Nunberg first Geoffrey year 2003 url http www csli.stanford.edu nunberg possessives.html title The Bloody Crossroads of Grammar and Politics publisher New York Time accessdate March 22, 2006 ref , some usage guides started to reject the use of possessive antecedents. These guides argue that a pronoun s antecedent cannot be a noun in a possessive construct in this case, they contend that Winston Churchill , embedded as it is in the construct Winston Churchill s , cannot serve as the antecedent for the pronoun him . The basis for this contention is that a pronoun s antecedent must be a noun, so that if Winston Churchill s is an adjective, then a pronoun cannot refer back to it. For example, consider the following sentence The big green history shows him to have been a good writer. Here, him lacks any clear antecedent it certainly cannot refer back to the big green and the sentence must be ungrammatical, or at least meaningless, unless a previous sentence provides an antecedent. This rule does not reflect ordinary English usage, and it is commonly ignored intentionally or otherwise even by those who have heard of it.
