Answer:
Pronoun-Antecedent errors in sentences occur when a pronoun does not match its antecedent. This can cause confusion in the text.
Explanation:
- A common mistake a writer makes is a discrepancy between a pronoun and antecedent. meaning a pronoun does not match the noun (antecedent) it refers to. Singular antecedents and singular pronouns that align with each other while plural pronouns matches the plural antecedent.
- It is important to match pronouns to their antecedents to avoid the pronoun - antecedent error in gender and in number.
- For Example:
Lara turned his homework to the teacher.
- In this case 'Lara' is the antecedent while 'His' is the pronoun. Now since Lara is a female and 'his' is a male pronoun it is causing pronoun-Antecedent error.
- To correct the sentence we have to replace 'his' with 'her'.
- So, Lara turned her homework to the teacher
