Agreement and Indefinites

 Pronouns should agree with the antecedent in number, case and gender  That is if there is one person you use the singular pronoun  If the antecedent is a girl you use a feminine pronoun, and if it is a boy you use a masculine pronoun  Last, If the pronoun is the subject of the sentence you must use a subject pronoun, objects need the object pronouns and possessives show ownership

 Indefinite Pronouns are exactly what they sound like; indefinite.  Indefinite means it is not clear or final.  There are some pronouns that when used do not come across exactly singular or plural. They are “GENERAL” words- but they are still singular or plural

ONES  Someone, anyone, everyone, no one, one BODIES  Somebody, anybody, everybody, nobody THINGS  Something, anything, everything, nothing  Either, neither, each, another  All are always singular pronouns

 Somebody needs to move (his or her, their) books off the floor.  Either of the movies is fine if (their, its) actors are famous.  Each of the dogs must have (their, its) bath tonight.

 None of the pets have had (its, their) shots.  All of the class needs (his or her, their) books out.  Some of the girls need (her, their) lockers cleaned.
