Pronouns
A Pronoun is a word that is used in place of noun. The antecedent of a pronouns is the word to which the pronoun refers. E.g. Mary (Antecedent) was late for work because she (Pronoun) forgot to set the alarm. Occasionally, an antecedent will appear after the pronoun in a sentence. E.g. Because he sneezes so often, Arthur always thinks he might have the flu.

Mastering Pronouns for SAT Success

Who is used to refer to persons; which refers to things. SAT designed in a way to trick you. You will generally only find “that” used to introduce a restrictive (or defining) clause (one that identifies the specific thing) or used as a conjunction.

       E.g. The book that you need is on the second shelf.

                I’m lucky that I found it in time.

The relative pronoun “which” is used on the SAT for non-restrictive, non-defining clauses, set off by commas.

       E.g. The book, which is now out of print, is on the second shelf.

*If the modifying phrase is set off by one or more commas, you probably need to use “which” instead of that.
