When I was studying for my CELPIP exam I got material from them. Unfortunately, I can not put the PDF to the public because it has a watermark with my personal email. But I can put you here what it says.
CELPIP's eighth error as they state:
A common CELPIP error is using pronouns that do not agree with the nouns they refer to (i.e., their antecedents). Pronouns and their antecedents need to agree. We say, “Return the books when they are due.” The pronoun they agree with its antecedent noun books in person (both are the third person) and number (both are plural).
In fact, pronouns can agree with their antecedents in four ways:
Singular | Plural | |||||||
Subj. case | Obj.case | Possesive case | Subj. case | Obj.case | Possesive case | |||
1st person | I | me | mine | my | we | us | ours | our |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2nd person | you | you | yours | your | you | you | yours | you |
3th person | he (m) she (f) it (n) | him (m) her (f) it (n) | his (m) hers (f) - | his (m) hers (f) its (n) | they | them | theirs | their |
Personal pronouns can replace a subject but should not repeat it.
Possessive adjectives must agree with the owner, not what it is owned.
Good luck!
