Usage - Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement Here are nine pronoun-antecedent agreement rules. These rules are related to the rules found in subject-verb agreement.

Indefinite Pronouns Anybody, each, either, everyone, neither, and one are ALWAYS Singular Other indefinite pronouns like All, any, none, some… may be either singular or plural Both, Few, Many and Several …are ALWAYS PLURAL. © Clarkston High School / Ms. Yegge. All Rights Reserved

Pronoun ambiguity What is the problem in the following sentences? The Wolves and the Broncos played an intense game Saturday night. After beating them, they went to celebrate at a local restaurant. Jenny and Samantha went to the mall for after Christmas sales, and in the chaos, she lost sight of her. Pronoun antecedents must be clear, so how could you fix the sentences above? [ An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands. (ante = "before") The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number.] © Clarkston High School / Ms. Yegge. All Rights Reserved

Pronoun Antecedents A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number and gender. Can you spot the errors in these?? Example: If a student comes to class late, they are given a tardy. Example: As one enters the halls of high school, they need direction. Example: Everybody went to their next class. © Clarkston High School / Ms. Yegge. All Rights Reserved

More problems to catch… Susan is in the stands at the football game. She was cheering the team on. Steve is at the auto parts store, but he wasn’t finding what he wanted.

TIPS…. Everybody, Anybody, Anyone, Each, Neither, Nobody, Someone, a person = SINGULAR pronouns Don’t switch between 1 st and 3 rd person pronouns. See the problems here….?
