Paragraph With Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement

The only problem that most authors have with the problems with which it is confused with one that looks like a possessive, but that is really the contraction for whom it is. In the same way that we should not confuse his is with him (the contraction is for him or he has), we should not confuse who is with whom. We don`t talk and we don`t write like that. The Nominus Lincoln is automatically replaced with a pronoun. Of course, we say that the need for a pronoun-ante agreement can lead to gender problems. If, for example, you would write, “A student must see his or her counsellor before the end of the semester,” if there are student students, there is only mourning. In this situation, one can pluralize to avoid the problem: since the student is singular, a singular pronoun must be in agreement with him. A correct but rather clumsy version of the sentence is: Precursors and pronouns must correspond in number (singular or plural) and sex. For clarity, try to keep a pronoun relatively close to its predecessor. If the predecessor is not immediately clear, make a change, z.B the ret rest of the words, the transition from the singular to the plural or the replacement of the pronoun by a noun. Each of the following sentences has a pre-match/pronoun problem. Read each sentence and think about the problem.

Then check out each example of correction and explanation below. We must replace the subject-name of John singular, masculine, with the pronoun of the male and singular subject, Him. We can replace the unique female object name, female, with a single female object pronoun. Remember that if we condense a pronoun with something else, we don`t want to change shape. Following this rule often creates something that “doesn`t sound good.” You`d write, “This money is for me,” so if someone else is involved, don`t write, “This money is for Fred and me.” Try this: When writing, make sure you use the correct pronouns. If a pronoun corresponds to the person and the number of his predecessor, we say that he corresponds to him. Let`s take a few examples: Basic principle: A pronoun usually refers to a little earlier in the text (its predecessor) and must agree in singular/plural number with the thing to which it relates. Some of the most difficult chords are with indeterminate pronouns: 2. The pronoun that replaces the name must approve it in this way: 2.

If two or more of the nominative precursors of or more have joined, choose a pronoun reference to give its consent with the precursor CLOSEST TO THE VERB. I am unique to be in tune with the unique precursor, I. On the other hand, if we actually refer to the people who have the group, we look at the plural noun.
