Zorluk: KolayPronouns and Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement

Complete the sentence below by supplying the correct possessive pronoun that agrees with its antecedent.

Cevap:Neither of the two girls brought 【her】 umbrella to the outdoor concert.

Cevap

her
The indefinite pronoun 'Neither' functions as the singular antecedent of the sentence. Because the sentence specifies female individuals ('girls'), the singular possessive determiner 'her' must be used to achieve proper grammatical agreement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the antecedent in the sentence.
The antecedent is 'Neither', an indefinite pronoun referring to two female individuals ('girls').
Pronouns must agree in number and gender with their antecedents.
2
Determine the correct singular possessive pronoun.
The possessive form matching a singular female antecedent is 'her'.
'Neither' is grammatically singular, so it requires a singular possessive determiner rather than a plural one.
