- A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number, person,
and case.
- If the antecedent of the pronoun is a collective noun and
the collective noun has, earlier in the sentence, agreed with
a singular verb, the pronoun must be singular.
- A pronoun must have a single clear antecedent; the same pronoun,
used twice in a sentence, must refer to only one antecedent.
- Use "he or she,'' "him or her,'' or "his or
her'' to refer to singular antecedents of indefinite gender.
