Using Pronouns Effectively

Post one paragraph from any of your recent writing, and do the following:

1. Identify all pronouns in your paragraph. Remember that pronouns include personal pronouns like "she," "her," and "it"; indefinite pronouns like "everyone," "each," and "all"; and relative pronouns like "that" and "which."
2. Identify the antecedent of each pronoun in your paragraph. The antecedent is the noun to which the pronoun refers.
3. If you found any of the three types of pronoun problems—unclear pronoun reference, vague subject pronoun, or agreement error—in your paragraph, identify the problem and revise the problematic sentence.
