<<pronoun doubt>>

by ronniecoleman » Sat Jan 10, 2009 9:06 am
Appreciate your help!


<< subject >> verb << object >> , conjunction << pronoun >>..


there is no hard and fast rule that pronoun has to refer to subject or object

i am right


if subject and object are equally and logically likely the candidates then we have pronoun error..

we finally choose the coffee table towards the back of the store, as it was nice.

stickly speaking it can refer to both table and store, but logically to table only...so no pronoun error...



jim may not be elected by Roonie because he is unfit.

is the above sentence a pronoun error ???
