    Here are some rules to

    Examples
    :
    • Eppie knew she made
    the right choice.
    • The adults knew they
    had to let Eppie choose.
    Use singular pronouns
    for antecedents
    preceded by any, every,
    and each.
    Examples
    :

    his or her own beliefs about

    Use singular pronouns for
    antecedent that are collective
    nouns unless the context
    considers them as individual
    entities rather than as one
    entity.
    Examples
    •:
    The family had their individual
    blessings to be thankful for.
    (family meaning members of
    the family)
    • The crowd showed its shock at
    the surprising news. (crowd
    taken collectively as one.)
    Use singular pronouns
    when the antecedent is the
    title/name of a single
    entity.
    Examples
    :
    • The Complete Works of George
    Eliot made its mark as an e-book
    in 2016.
    Use a singular pronoun
    with the phrase the
    number of.

    phrase a number of.
    Examples
    :
    • The number of adults
