Things to remember:
* Pronouns take the place of nouns.
* Antecedents are the nouns that pronouns refer to.
* Agreement: Pronouns must agree in number and gender with their antecedents. For example, you can't say "The cat chased his tail." You would need to use "its" because "cat" is singular and neuter.
