代词是GMAT考试中经常出现的考点，一旦看见it, its, they, them或their都应该马上去找并找对先行词，检查：代词与先行词数量是否一致;指代是否有意义且无歧义，接下来小编就GMAT语法代词为大家介绍一下，希望对大家备考GMAT语法考试有所帮助。
1、先行词必须存在。根据代词和指代词的单复数判断。
×The park rangers discussed measures to prevent severe wildfires, which would be devastating to IT.(先行词不存在)
小心那些充当形容词的名词!他们不可能是先行词。如上面的park。
你想指代的先行词必须以名词出现在句子里!(antecedent=noun是实词)
2、考虑先行词与代词是否逻辑一致。每次都要检查先行词带入代词时是否合理。
3、“死亡五词”：单数：it, its。复数：they, them, their。
每当看见这五个代词时，要问自己“先行词在语义和单复数和代词是否一致?”
4、指示代词：This, that, these, and those。
①“that”和“those”是表示先行词的不完全指代。
The money spent by her parents is less than THAT spent by her children.(这里that指代the money,但这两个money不完全一样，一个是孩子花的，一个是大人花的 )
②“that”和“those”的指代必须被修饰(附上描述和说明)。
The money spent by her parents is less than THAT SPENT by her children.
③“that”和 “those”要在单复数上与先行词一致。如果不一致，必须重复所指代的名词。
×Her company is outperforming THOSE OF her competitors.
√ Her company is outperforming THE COMPANIES OF her competitors.
④this, that, these, those不能单独代替名词(不能裸奔)。类似“This is great”的句子是不被接受的。必须用作this/that/those/these+n. 的结构才能做代词使用，而这个名词则是与先行词同质(描述先行词)的词。
否则，请使用it，they，或them。
×:Her products are unusual; many consider THESE unique.
√ Her products are unusual; many consider THEM unique.
5、★【指代歧义】：
①“it”和“its”;“they”和“them”、“their”，或人称代词是完全指代，在一个句子中it和its必须指代相同的单数先行词，they， them，和their 必须指代相同的复数先行词
②确保一个每个代词都只有一个先行词。
但GMAT也会“允许”少数有多个可能先行词的句子。比如：
√Supernovas destroy their immediate environments in vast explosions, BUT by synthesizing heavy chemical elements, THEY provide the universe with the possibility of biochemistry-based life as we know it.
代词在句子主语的位置上，通常会被认为指代与其平行句子的主语。(在没有歧义的情况下。如果从句的主语需要指代主句中的宾语或其他先行词，则通常可能需要使用这个词本身或者加such之类的变成短语。例：those environments 或 such explosions.
6、所有格(with XX or XX’)通常不是很好的先行词。
×The board is investigating several executives' compensation packages in order to determine how much may have been improperly awarded to THEM.
把所有格改成possessing noun(of短语表示的名词)更好，避免了修饰packages的歧义。
7、如果遇见除了代词其他一模一样的选项，优先考虑重复名词(executives)的选项而不是代词(they)表示的选项。
