Pronoun Case and Agreement

Pronoun case refers to the form of the pronoun corresponding to its grammatical function in the sentence, whether the subject or the object. Pronoun agreement refers to the idea that pronouns should agree in case, number, and gender with the noun they replace. For example, in the sentence “He gave her the book,” the pronoun “he” is in the subjective case and agrees in gender and number with the noun it replaces. Proper pronoun case and agreement use can help make communication clear and effective.
