Then a tall brunette girl, the short brunette's friend, punched the tall blonde back in the face.' (PS: Strictly, girls are 'blonde' or 'brunette', while boys are 'blond' or 'brunet', but these distinctions have become fuzzy in English.)http://www.englishforums.com/English/Pronouns/bvmmm/post.htmSun, 25 Jan 2009 10:05:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:106857infinity2http://www.englishforums.com/English/Pronouns/bvmmm/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-106857.xmlI have a trouble with the usage of pronouns when I tell someone something I've heard from someone else. For instance, "Sara said, a tall blond girl punched a short brunette girl because the short brunette girl was kissing the tall blond girl's boyfriend. Then a tall brunette girl who was a friend of the short brunette girl punched back the tall blond girl in the tall blond girl's face." I am not sure whether the sentence above itself is OK or not. But if it's worth while, I want to know on which words I can replace with pronouns like 'she' or 'her'. Thanks in advance.
