Pronoun Antecedent Agreement*Antecedent Agreement • May 21st, 2018
Contract Type FiledMay 21st, 2018Pronouns substitute nouns and, many times, refer to their antecedents, which are nouns or pronouns that the pronouns stand for. In English, most nouns are neutral in gender and use the pronoun it, its, or they or their. Nouns that refer to females or males (girl, boy, woman, man, lady, gentleman, mother, father, brother, sister, proper names of people) take pronouns such as he, she, his, her, or him. A pronoun must always agree with its antecedent in both number and gender.
