What’s an indefinite pronoun? Anybody Anyone Each Either Everybody Neither Nobody No one
Subject-verb Agreement
Indefinite pronouns are treated as singular Example: Each of the students has a
textbook now. Example: Everybody who signed up for the
tours is able to go.
What about collective nouns?
More Agreement
Example: When someone has been drinking, they are likely to speed.
Example: Every runner must train rigorously if they want to excel.
Example: If a medical student wants to get a job, he must study every day.
Ways to Fix Agreement Errors1. Replace the plural pronoun with “he or she” or
“his or her.”2. Make the antecedent plural.3. Rewrite the sentence completely.Example:1. When someone has been drinking, he or she is
likely to speed.2. When drivers have been drinking, they are likely
to speed.3. A driver who has been drinking is likely to
speed.
