PRONOUN ERRORS<br />

A pronoun is a word that stands for a noun, known as the antecedent<br />

of the pronoun. The key point for the use of pronouns is this:<br />

• Pronouns must agree with their antecedents in both number<br />

(singular or plural) and person (1 st , 2 nd , or 3 rd ).<br />

Example:<br />

Steve has yet to receive his degree.<br />
