Question

Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement

Pronoun agreement can be trickier than it (Q5)might seem on the surface. The rule is that we must make sure our pronouns agree in number and gender with the nouns they are replacing. For example, when we write a sentence about a girl named Sophia, we would use she as the pronoun to refer to her.

Pronoun agreement (subject) can be trickier than it might seem on the surface. What pronoun replaces the subject in this sentence?

Answer 2

To answer this question, you need to look for the subject of the sentence and in this case, the subject is "pronoun agreement." The way to identify the subject is to ask yourself, "Who or what is this sentence about?" After identifying what you think is the subject, ask yourself, "What is this sentence saying about the subject you have identified." In other words, "What did or can the subject do?" Hopefully this helps!
