Rules for pronouns and antecedent agreement
Rule 1
A group of words between the verb and the subject doesn't change the antecedent. :stuck_out_tongue:
Example:
Carla
doesn't knows that
she
has a birthday party.
Rule 3
Subjects joind by "and" (compound subject) use always plural pronouns. :<3:
Example:
Mariana
and
Camila
are always in trouble, but
they
forever will scape.
Rule 2
The plural antecedent must agree with its plural prounoun. Is the same with the singular form. :smiley:
Each
teacher
thinks the
quiz
is easy, but
she
is not doing
it
.
Rule 4
Subjects joined by "or" and "nor" (compound subject) needs to agree to the closest pronoun to the antecedent. :star:
Example: Neither my cousings nor my uncles hates their house.
Rule 5
Collective nouns (such as team or jury) must agree in number with its antecedent depending on the way the sentence refers to. :pencil2:
Example: The group wasn't paying attention to me, but it was very good at what I was talking about.
Rule 8
The antecedent must agree with the gendere (masculine, femenine, neuter) and the person (first, second, third). :sunglasses:
Example:
Cristina
sings like an angel, but
she
doesn't wants to do it in public.
Rule 7
"Every" and "many a" agrees witha a singular pronoun. :heart_eyes:
Example: Every boy needs a ball, so he can play all day.
Rule 6
Plural form subjects with singular meanings need to agree with a singular prounoun. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Example:
Mathematics
is a little difficult, but
it
is great and I like
it
.
