Pronouns
Words used to avoid repetition of nouns are called pronouns.
Errors in pronouns may not appear common among English speakers, but the
fact cannot be ruled out that for efficient communication, the pronoun is a
fundamental part of speech that gets misused among students and other
learners.
Pronoun errors occur in English when there is a disagreement between the
pronouns and the number of nouns. If noun is singular, the pronoun has to be
singular and vice versa. Another way errors occur in pronouns is when the
verb does not agree with the subject of the sentence. However, these two
errors are intertwined.
The following are examples of common pronoun errors in grammar. The use
of one of, some of, and none of must be written so that the verb agrees with
the subject. Below, singular verbs eats, and was agree with singular subjects.
