Choose an answer. Which sentence has pronoun-antecedent agreement?

Question 5 options:

Each girl needs to bring her sleeping bag.


Several boys made his own dinner.


No one can leave their seats yet.


Neither girl wants to wear their dress today.

Respuesta :

The sentence that has correct pronoun-antecedent agreement is "Each girl needs to bring her sleeping bag."

The antecedent in that sentence is "each girl", which is female and singular, so the pronoun should be (and is) female and singular too, "her".

Answer:

The word antecedent refers to something that precedes another thing, meaning that it is the word that a pronoun refers back to. It has to agree in number, meaning a singular noun is replaced by a singular pronoun, same with plural. This is why the first option suits with the definition because “each girl” is singular and so does the pronoun “her”
