- They say that running is the toughest sport.
- Pronoun Problem I - The Vague Pronoun
- Who says? Who is they?
- Oh, my dad and my Uncle Fred. He ran the fastest 100 meters ever at this school.
- Wait, which one holds the record - your uncle or your dad?
- My dad. She says it's important to stretch before you run.
- Coach, duh.
- Ugh! Who is she? It's also important to use a noun before you replace it with a pronoun.
- A pronoun? Do they get paid a lot?
- Uh, no. A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun. You need to be clear which noun you are replacing or you won't make any sense.
- The noun the pronoun replaces is called the "antecedent." And the pronoun and antecedent must match up.
- Sigh
- Cool! Thanks for the lesson. Got to run. Joe and Henry are waiting for me, and he won't be happy if I'm late.
