What is Pronoun Antecedent Agreement?

A pronoun antecedent agreement is when the pronoun agrees in number and person to the antecedent. For example, this sentence is wrong: Everyone should sleep in their own room. This sentence is right: Everyone should sleep in his or her own room. Everyone is an antecedent and is singular, so the pronoun should be singular, too. The word ‘their’ is plural and ‘his or her’ is singular.
