Questions students ask

What is a pronoun?

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun (antecedent) to avoid repetition; for example, in 'Sana lost her pen' her replaces Sana. Pronouns help sentences stay clear and you must check their agreement with the antecedent.

How to find the antecedent of a pronoun?

The antecedent is the noun the pronoun refers to; scan the sentence for the nearest clear noun and ensure number, person and gender match the pronoun. If unclear, rephrase the sentence to make the antecedent explicit.

Difference between who and whom?

Use who for subjects and whom for objects; test by replacing with he/she (who) or him/her (whom). Also use whom after prepositions: 'To whom did you speak?'

Is each singular or plural?

Each is treated as singular, so pair it with singular verbs and pronouns (Each student must bring his or her book). For clarity, rewrite sentences to avoid awkward gendered pronouns.

How to choose the correct sentence in MCQs?

First check pronoun-antecedent agreement, then subject/object case and reflexive use; eliminate options with ambiguous references or mismatched number/gender. Use replacement tests (he/she or him/her) to confirm.
