释义 | antecedent The adjective antecedent is less attested in our files than the noun; as an adjective it is not usually placed in a construction requiring a preposition, but when it is, the preposition is to. • For him, character and society are antecedent to talk —Richard Poirier, A World Elsewhere, 1966 • If we believe that we have rights antecedent to government — Time, 26 Sept. 1955 |
