Make pronouns and antecedents agree.

22Make pronouns and antecedents agree.

A pronoun is a word that substitutes for a noun. (See 46b.) Many pronouns have antecedents, nouns or pronouns to which they refer. A pronoun and its antecedent agree when they are both singular or both plural.

The pronouns he, his, she, her, it, and its must agree in gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) with their antecedents, not with the words they modify.
