A pronoun is a word that takes the place of one or more nouns. • The antecedent of a pronoun is the noun or nouns which the pronoun stands for. • The pronoun should agree with its antecedent. (Example: a boy should always be HE) • If using a pronoun it should be clear who the pronoun is talking about. • For example: Ms. Kou dropped Ms. Kou’s pen in the hall. Ms. Kou dropped herpen in the hall.
