Take a look at these two sentences:
“Jesus went to the Pharisee’s house. Everyone was looking at him.”
In one language, the pronoun “him” was interpreted as referring to the Pharisee. Can you explain the difference between what a pronoun refers to in English and in this language?
Answer
Answer
In English, the pronoun refers to the closest subject noun possible as an antecedent (in this case, one referring to a male person). In the other language, it refers to the closest noun possible as an antecedent.
