Pronoun references


Pronoun references (ref)
If you keep using nouns over and over again, writing becomes tedious so refrain from using them.  Pronouns are substitute for nouns. There are two types of pronouns: personal and indefinite pronouns.  Personal pronouns are I, me, my, mine, you, yours, he, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its, we, our, ours, they, them, their, theirs.  The following is a list of indefinite pronouns.
each                 anyone                         anybody                      anything
either               everyone                      everybody                   everything
neither             someone                      somebody                    something
one                  on one                         nobody                        nothing
Pronouns are tricky. They must agree to their antecedents. Otherwise, you have a pronoun reference error. Overall, pronouns can give many problems but if you take care, you can avoid problems with them.
