Exercise 1: Underline the pronouns that agree with their antecedents.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and identify whether the pronoun agrees with its antecedent (the noun it refers to) in number (singular/plural), gender (masculine/feminine/neuter), and person (first/second/third).

We will underline the correct pronoun if there's a choice, or identify if the pronoun is already correct.

1. Nobody brought (his/her/their) own jacket.
- "Nobody" is singular and gender-neutral.
- Traditionally, "his or her" was used, but modern English often uses "their" as a singular pronoun for inclusivity.
- ✔ "their" is acceptable here (plural form used for singular).
- ✔️ Answer: Underline their.

2. Some of the students missed (his/her/their) bus.
- "Some of the students" = plural.
- Therefore, pronoun must be plural.
- ✔ "their" is correct.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline their.

3. Each of the girls went (himself/herself/themselves) home.
- "Each" is singular, so pronoun must be singular.
- "Girls" is feminine → use herself.
- ✘ "Himself" is wrong (gender mismatch). "Themselves" is plural.
- ✔ "herself" is correct.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline herself.

4. Either the boys or Cindy will volunteer (his/her/their) time.
- "Either...or" construction: the pronoun agrees with the closer subject ("Cindy").
- Cindy is singular, female → use her.
- ✔ "her" is correct.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline her.

5. Someone left (his/her/their) shoes at the gym.
- "Someone" is singular, gender-neutral.
- "Their" is widely accepted as a singular pronoun in modern usage.
- ✔ "their" is acceptable.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline their.

6. Neither Ben nor Jack brought (his/her/their) shoes.
- "Neither...nor" → pronoun agrees with closer subject ("Jack").
- Jack is male → use his.
- ✔ "his" is correct.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline his.

7. Most of the kids (his/her/their) bikes were stolen.
- "Most of the kids" = plural → pronoun should be their.
- Also, the sentence structure is awkward — likely missing a verb.
- Corrected version: "Most of the kids' bikes were stolen."
- But assuming the intended sentence is: "Most of the kids had lost (his/her/their) bikes."
- Then "their" is correct.
- ✔ "their" is correct.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline their.

8. Everybody must eat (his/her/their) food in the cafeteria.

9. Many of the teachers drove (his/her/their) car.
- "Many of the teachers" = plural → pronoun must be plural.
- ✔ "their" is correct.
- ✔️ Answer: Underline their.

10. One of the boys has (his/her/their) lunch.
- "One of the boys" = singular.
- Boy → masculine → his.

14. Mona or Cindy brought (his/her/their) car.
- "Mona or Cindy" → both are female, singular.

🔍 Explanation Summary:

- Singular indefinite pronouns like *nobody*, *someone*, *anyone* take singular pronouns. Use "their" for inclusive language.
- Plural subjects require plural pronouns (e.g., "their").
- With "either/or" and "neither/nor", the pronoun agrees with the closest subject.
- Gender agreement matters when the antecedent has a known gender.
- "Each" and "every" are singular, even if referring to multiple people.
