Pronouns. Underline the pronoun in parentheses that agrees with the antecedent in each sentence. Circle each antecedent.

The underline pronoun will be RED and the antecedent will be BLUE.

2. The children took care of the wounded bird and then set (them, it) free.

3. The coach was interviewed by reporters after (his, their) game.

2. The children took care of the wounded bird and then set (them, it) free.  The children were not set free - the bird was.

3. The coach was interviewed by reporters after (his, their) game. The coach was the one with a game, not the reporters.
