EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 6 2/4

Today I reviewed something about how to make pronouns and antecedents agree.  When we writing something, we need make sure that we use pronouns follow the antecedents what we used.  For example, the antecedent that we used is singular, so we should not use the pronoun which means plural.

e.g.
1) A Chinese student should spend a lot of time doing their homework. (wrong)
     Chinese students should spend a lot of time doing their homework.  (right)
2) Many young girls in this city choose to be a teacher in her future. (wrong)
    Many young girls in this city choose to be a teacher in their future. (right)
