31. Pronouns And Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement of the most frequently asked questions about grammar is about is of course, strictlyspeaking, correct — and yet The usage to be preferred in ordinary speech http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/pronouns.htm

Pronouns and Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement For definitions of the various kinds of pronouns and their roles in a sentence, click HERE Basic Principle: A pronoun usually refers to something earlier in the text (its antecedent The indefinite pronouns anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, no one , and nobody are always singular. This is sometimes perplexing to writers who feel that everyone and everybody (especially) are referring to more than one person. The same is true of either and neither , which are always singular even though they seem to be referring to two things. The need for pronoun-antecedent agreement can create gender problems. If one were to write, for instance, "A student must see his counselor before the end of the semester," when there are female students about, nothing but grief will follow. One can pluralize, in this situation, to avoid the problem: Students must see their counselor before the end of the semester. Or, one could say A student must see his or her counselor. . . . Too many his 's and her 's eventually become annoying, however, and the reader becomes more aware of the writer trying to be conscious of good form than he or she is of the matter at hand.

32. Pronouns probably the most Frequently Asked Questions about English grammar. to Michael Quinion'sarticle on this usage and the might be silly, but it would be correct. http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/pronouns1.htm

Pronouns Definition Generally (but not always) pronouns stand for ( pro + noun) or refer to a noun, an individual or individuals or thing or things (the pronoun's antecedent) whose identity is made clear earlier in the text. For instance, we are bewildered by writers who claim something like They say that eating beef is bad for you. They is a pronoun referring to someone, but who are they? Cows? whom do they represent? Sloppy use of pronouns is unfair. Not all pronouns will refer to an antecedent, however. Everyone here earns over a thousand dollars a day. The word "everyone" has no antecedent. The problem of agreement between a pronoun and its antecedent and between a pronoun and its verb is treated in another section on Pronoun-Antecedent Consistency . The quizzes on pronoun usage are also listed at the end of that section. This section will list and briefly describe the several kinds of pronouns. KINDS OF PRONOUNS: Personal Demonstrative Indefinite Relative ... Reciprocal Personal Pronouns Unlike English nouns, which usually do not change form except for the addition of an -s ending to create the plural or the apostrophe + s to create the possessive, personal pronouns (which stand for persons or things) change form according to their various uses within a sentence.

Graphics Gallery and Search Animated GIFs Photos Icons Clip Art CORRECT USAGE OF THE PRONOUNS "I" And "Me" Pronouns have always been a problem when it comes to usage not only to those learning English as a second language but for native English speakers as well. The problem is mostly in the use of the proper case especially when the compounding of pronouns is involved. Care should be taken in that if a transitive verb or a preposition needs an object, the pronoun to be used should be in the objective case. Similarly, when it is a subject that is needed, whether in a sentence or in a clause, the pronoun that can answer that need should be one in the nominative case.
