Explanation:

A pronoun is used in place of a noun. For example "John" can be referred to as "he/his". A nominative case is one of the grammatical cases of a noun or other part of speech. Antecedent means 'to go before' in Latin, thus it refers to the pronoun that was mentioned earlier in the sentence.
