Prolepsis.

This is nothing to do with a prolapsed womb! She is now long dead and gone: my own grandmother who had that prolapse, who gave birth to no less than four children, one of whom was my own father. She lived did my Grannie before it was invented - the NHS - you see.

Teachers teach that you use the noun – in this case my Grannie – and then change it for a pronoun – in this case she – so that the noun always precedes the pronoun.

So it "should" read like this:

My Grannie had a prolapsed womb. She also had four children in the days before the NHS.

How utterly mundane and boring!

Prolepsis puts the pronoun before the noun. 

It makes for very elegant and slightly unusual English does prolepsis.

He was a funny old chap was Henry VIII. 

It was like cutting down a harvest of young men was the Somme. 

She was a feisty old lady was Queen Elizabeth.

A neat little trick is prolepsis.

For some people (mainly Americans) prolepsis means foreseeing what is going to happen.

“I am not afraid”, said Luke Skywalker. 

“You will be…” came the reply.

 Or it can be even more clever, can prolepsis: foreseeing the other side's argument.

They are wrong the people who think that the transgender issue is going to fade away. It will never do that.

He will never get into a muddle who keeps things as simple as possible. 

She ties herself in knots who thinks she can see into the future. 

There is just one person who knows what the future will hold and He isn't speaking.

A Level Students only:

This is a really good tip for those essays, this prolepsis: it makes you look mature and slightly cynical. They will have their socks blown off will the examiners.
